Canada $2 1954 Beattie/Rasminsky W/R 8411809 Offset Print Error Gem UNC

part of the "Canadian Landscape Series"
Year and Series: It's a 1954 series banknote from the "Canadian Landscape Series," which was in circulation until 1969 when it was replaced due to counterfeiting issues.
Portrait: The banknote features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed in 1952 following her accession to the throne.
"Devil's Face" Controversy: This series of banknotes became controversial due to an optical illusion in the Queen's hair in the portrait, which some perceived as a grinning devil, leading to modifications in the printing plates in 1956.
Value: While most circulated 1954 Canadian $2 bills might not be worth significantly more than their face value, their collector's value can vary greatly depending on factors such as condition, specific print variations (like "Devil's Face" notes), and serial numbers (e.g., solid numbers or replacement notes). Uncirculated or rare varieties can fetch higher prices in the collectors' market.
