Lasting Impressions – $5 Bank Note Pair Set

Description

A milestone in Canadian currency history, Lasting Impressions is an official collector set issued by the Bank of Canada to mark the transition between two iconic $5 bank note series. This limited-edition presentation pairs the final chapter of the beloved Birds of Canada series with the beginning of the modern Canadian Journey series—two eras, preserved side by side.

The set includes two uncirculated $5 bank notes with matching serial numbers, creating a rare and meaningful link between past and present. One note is among the last 50,000 $5 bills printed in the 1986 Birds of Canada series, while the second represents the 2002 Canadian Journey series, reflecting Canada’s evolving approach to design and security.

Housed in a refined hard presentation case with an outer gift box, this set also includes an informative booklet that traces the evolution of Canadian bank notes and explains the advanced security features that protect Canada’s currency.
