| Opmerkingen |
The Royal Canadian Bank was chartered in 1864 and failed spectacularly in 1887, leaving noteholders scrambling for redemption through the liquidation process. It was one of several Toronto-based chartered banks of the period that overextended credit during Ontario's post-Confederation growth and never recovered from the contractions that followed.
The American Bank Note Company in New York was the dominant supplier of chartered bank paper to Canadian issuers throughout the 1860s — domestic printing capacity simply couldn't match ABNCo's intaglio quality. Woodside served as cashier and Metcalf as president, the standard signing arrangement for Canadian chartered notes of this period.
