It looks like they were released for commemorative events. 1935 was the Silver Jubilee of King George V (King of Canada). Princess Elizabeth is featured on the 1935 releases, which also includes the Prince of Wales (King Edward VIII), the Duke of York (King George V), the Princess Royal (Princess Mary), & the Duke of Gloucester (Prince Henry).
From the Bank of Canada:
« An act of Parliament in 1934 gave the Bank of Canada the exclusive responsibility to issue Canada’s bank notes. At that time, commercial banks also had the right to issue bank notes, but that right was phased out over the following decade.
The Bank officially opened for business on March 11, 1935. On the same day, it issued its first bank note series. It was really two issues because French and English versions of every denomination were produced — the only time this would occur.
The Bank’s first notes were designed by two security printing companies working with the federal government: the British American Bank Note Company and the Canadian Bank Note Company. Even for 1935, the notes weren’t modern in appearance but very much of a nineteenth-century aesthetic. The numbers, rosettes, frames and some of the vignettes were straight out of the security printers’ catalogues.
It was the only series to feature royalty other than the reigning monarch. Seven members of King George V’s family appeared across the denominations. Prime ministers appeared on the two highest denomination notes—which are also the least commonly used. The words “Ottawa, Issue of 1935” appeared on all the notes. »

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
