I dont think so because the SPECIMEN stamp is all over it. I could be wrong. Most likely is'nt.

Since the earlier specimen notes did not have the signatures and BofC seal applied and/or had punch holes through the signatures, and the serial #s are all 0's I would think they are not legal tender.

However, I will gladly accept any Bank of Canada specimen notes you have as legal tender at face value...got any 1935 $500 specimen notes?  ;) :D

Sorry, already spent them on beer.

When did signatures start appearing on the specimen notes?

At the same time as signatures became engraved in the intaglio plates.
