25 cent canadian-1900

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I have a paper 25cent Dominion of Canada bill.It is dated January 2nd 1900. To the right side, it has a lady sitting on a shield, holding a staff which has 3 prongs at the top. Above her it says 'Authorized by R.S.C.CAP.31.' The bottom of the bill is signed,"I.W. Courtuey" Not sure if all the letters are correct, as it is not also typed below it. It only says Deputy Minister Of Finance. There are no serial numbers on it. The back has 3 overlapping green emblems, the center one has '25' on 4 corners, and the 2 sides have a larger 25 symbol and then the words 'cents' above and below it. I'm sorry I don't have a scanner. It is in fair condition- no tears- one small stain on the D of the word Dominion. Any idea on its value?

Hello Tammy,

Based on your description and the 2007 Charlton catalogue, your note sounds like it is Cat.No. DC-15a.
