| Comments |
The Producers' Bank operated in Sydney from the mid-nineteenth century as a trading and agricultural finance institution, one of dozens of colonial-era private banks that issued their own notes before the Commonwealth Bank's establishment ended that practice. Private bank note issue in New South Wales was progressively curtailed through the latter half of the 1800s, and the Producers' Bank itself did not survive into the federation period.
No Pick number has been assigned, which typically indicates surviving specimens are either extremely rare or known only from archival sources. Unattributed colonial Australian private bank paper is among the most difficult material to authenticate and cross-reference.
