The Imperial Bank of Canada had just twelve years left to operate as an independent institution when this note was printed — it merged into the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1961. By 1933, Canadian chartered banks were still issuing their own currency under the Bank Act, a system that would effectively end with the Bank of Canada Act of 1934 and the subsequent dominance of central bank notes through the late 1930s. This note is among the later private chartered bank issues, printed during the final years that system was commercially relevant.
The Canadian Bank Note Company in Ottawa printed for virtually every major chartered bank during this period, making printer attribution less diagnostic than the issuing bank's own serial and signature combinations for establishing variety.
