| Comments |
City Bank of Montreal was chartered in 1833 and operated until its absorption by the Consolidated Bank of Canada in 1876. The New England Bank Note Company of Boston supplied a number of Canadian chartered bank notes during the mid-nineteenth century, competing directly with American Bank Note Company and British North America's local engravers for that business.
The "18xx" dating on this reference indicates an undated remainder or a specimen without completed date and serial fields — common for notes pulled from printer stock before full issue authorization or after a bank reduced its circulating requirements.
