Commemorative banknotes of the Canadian dollar

[6] On the left side of the obverse is a monochrome green adaptation of the stylized maple leaf used as the Canadian Centennial logo, marked with the years 1867 and 1967.

[8] The reverse depicts the original Centre Block of the parliament buildings, which were destroyed by fire in 1916, derived from the same engraving used for a Dominion of Canada banknote designed and printed in the 19th century.

It is of the same polymer material and purple colour of the standard Frontier series $10 banknote, but contains a unique design that includes four portraits of important historical Canadian figures.

The obverse features four portraits: John A. Macdonald, George-Étienne Cartier, Agnes Macphail, and James Gladstone, and the 'Canada 150' logo at upper right.

[10] The reverse has five landscapes: The Lions and Capilano Lake; fields of Prairie wheat; the Canadian Shield in Quebec; the Atlantic coast at Cape Bonavista; and northern lights in Wood Buffalo National Park.

The holographic window includes the national coat of arms, and a representation of the artwork "Owl's Bouquet" by Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak.
