| Rückseitenbeschreibung | The reverse is largely plain, printed on unadorned paper with faint impressions from the obverse showing through. A handwritten countersignature inscription in cursive script at the upper left reads 'Countersigned and Registered in the Office of the Inspector General' followed by a manuscript signature and the designation 'Register', reflecting the regulatory endorsement practice required for provincial bank notes of this era. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Bank of British North America was chartered in London in 1836 and operated as a British imperial institution with branches across the Canadian provinces — a fundamentally different animal from the locally chartered colonial banks it competed against. This note's dual denomination, one dollar equated to five shillings, reflects the genuinely messy monetary reality of mid-19th century British North America, where Halifax currency, York currency, and U.S. dollar values all circulated simultaneously and merchants routinely dealt in multiple systems within a single transaction.
By 1852 the pressure to decimalize was already building — the Province of Canada would adopt the decimal dollar just one year later in 1853, rendering the shilling equation on notes like this one obsolete almost immediately.
