The Quebec Bank was a Montreal-chartered institution that never grew into one of Canada's dominant commercial banks — it was absorbed by the Royal Bank in 1917 after decades of modest regional operation. By 1863, the American Bank Note Company in New York was already the prestige choice for Canadian chartered bank issues, and Quebec Bank clearly wanted that association: ABNC's engraved work from this period is technically refined in ways that domestic Canadian printers couldn't yet match.
The charter allowing Quebec Bank to issue notes denominated in dollars rather than livres had only been normalized a few years prior to this issue, following the decimal currency transition of 1858.
