These owner comments come by way of Talisman Coins:
The Bank of Canada began operating 75 years ago in 1935 and was given responsibility to regulate the country’s money supply and to “promote the economic and financial welfare of Canada.” Accordingly, it was given the exclusive right to issue Canada’s bank notes. On March 11, 1935, the Bank of Canada issued its first series of bank notes.
This coin depicts the seated Goddess of Agriculture and Farming. Resting leisurely on a large, undressed stone and clothed in a very comfortable toga, Agriculture holds a honey dipper, dripping with honey, in her left hand. At her feet kneels an agrarian farmer, who pours grain from his hand into a sack, while behind her a tree is burdened with ripe fruit. A sheaf of wheat and a low, stone wall such as separates farm fields complete the vignette. This scene is taken directly from the vignette depicted on the back side of the Bank of Canada 1935 Twenty Dollar Bank Note.
