Quote: This is a 1973 Bank Of Canada Replacement Note The back shows Parliament Hill as viewed from across the Ottawa River.
Those are the notes I first started collecting at the age of 13-14 while delivering newspapers. The Ottawa River scene was engraved by Charles Gordon Yorke (while working for the BABN co). https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ar....php?id=1222
The AAX replacement was initially missed by most collectors who were accustomed to the 2 letter asterisk replacements (like your *A/A note). The notes represent the transition point from Steel-engraved backs to litho-engraved backs above 2.1 million. However, since such a large batch were issued, they ended up being pretty accessible to collectors for some time. I have both the steel & litho examples as I think they're important parts of our banknote history.
Nice example!
Edit: any idea what RA-11 means? (never seen this before)
