Someone contacted me not too long ago through my website, the Online Canadian Paper Money Museum with a question about the note featured in the attached photo.
I have no idea how this would have been created. It is difficult to tell for sure which layer (the intaglio or the "plaid") was printed first, even with a magnifying glass. The prefix is AGG, so it has an engraved back as opposed to a lithographed back.
I am not aware of anything within the normal printing process that could possibly have produced what I am seeing.
Does anyone here have any thoughts or ideas?

All I can say is WOW.
What about the opposite side?
-
It looks to me that a wet hankerchief (brand new)was placed on the note and the colours/designs transferred from the hanky to the $2 note. That's my opinion. :-/
-
Looks like it was done after and the more I look at it the more the wet hankerchief idea makes sense.
-
That's what I was thinking initially too.
BTW: The front of the note is normal.
