The 1954 series is best known for the "Devil's Face" controversy — a combination of engraved highlights in the Queen's hair that many Canadians interpreted as a demonic profile. Public pressure was sufficient that the Canadian Bank Note Company retouched the master die, and revised plates were introduced from 1956 onward. On the $50, this distinction matters for collectors: Devil's Face examples carry the Coyne-Towers signature pairing, while modified-hair notes appear across all three signature combinations.
The Coyne-Towers pairing on this denomination is the scarcest of the three, as Towers retired in late 1954.
