The number on the face of a banknote is called face plate number and the number on the back is simply the back plate number. It is rare that the face and back plate numbers are the same.
Each plate to produce Canadian banknotes have numbers assigned to it and were applied during printing.
Very few collectors collect by plate numbers. The unpopularity of collecting plate numbers is due to (a) the vast number of notes needed for a collection, (b) the uncertainty in what combinations have been issued, and (c) the difficulty in seeing the minute plate numbers which are usually well hidden in the design of the note.
