| Opmerkingen |
The Banque Provinciale du Canada was itself a rebranded institution — formerly the Banque d'Hochelaga until 1900, when it restructured and adopted its new name. By the time this series was issued, it was one of only a handful of Quebec-based chartered banks still exercising their note-issue rights under the Bank Act, a privilege that would effectively end with the 1944 revisions centralizing currency with the Bank of Canada.
The American Bank Note Company maintained a production facility in Ottawa — not just their New York operation — and this note was printed there. The fifteen-year span of this series reflects how slowly chartered bank note designs turned over once printing plates were established and the notes remained legally current.
