Nice note, very clean looks to be in very fine condition only because of the folds.
It appears that the printing of general manager under the logan signature is in capital letters and the Logan signature is the small variety this would make it Charlton Cat # 16-04-06a.
The allegorical figures on the face of the note are Mercury with "architecture" at the left and "invention" to the right.
The back of the note has again Mercury to the left however my book doesn't reference who is to the right but my guess would be "agriculture".

Hope this helps and I hope someone chimes in if I'm wrong.

Cheers, Bill

Ty Bill for your time and excellent info on the bill. On the reverse that makes sense as it looks like a bouquet of perhaps barley straw she's holding.

I was surprised to see the security dots on this, I wonder when they first started doing that with bills?

Ty DBM, I think this has to be one of the best designs ever for a note, although it would never fly today, it's good to see that at a point in our history it was made public. I'd like to say also that in hand vs the pictures, if you times 2 these images it'll give you the full effect of pure eye candy of color and design.

I received a mail with an offer in it to buy this note. I thought it was quite low at 175.00 US. Any thoughts on what kind of dollars this should sell for? Tyia. Cheers.

I talked to the owner of this note today, he's wanting to part with it. Any ideas of what it could be sold/bought for? If I don't purchase it from him it may go onto ebay or kijiji. tyia, cheers, Jon.

Not sure of the grade of yours, but this might give you
an idea of price. I think that offer of $175.00 US was
a little on the low side

I am not really a currency collector, but I would easily pay $175 for it,lol. It would be interesting to see how it would come back graded. What condition is it in?

ty for your replies, as mentioned above by Bill, I agree with a vf and it is the small Logan signature but the note feels pretty crisp even tho it has had folds in the past they don't appear to be finger nailed folds, very clean tho with no spot stains. My friend has asked me to help with letting his collection go. We are working on the nickels as well complete set from 1922 up excluding minor varieties and probably 1 or 2 more sets in the works. My poor eyes gettin worked overtime lol.

I think $175 is about right. I got a 1917 $20 Canadian Bank of Commerce banknote for around that price through an auction. It is a graded banknote in VF condition.
