| 备注 |
The Union Bank of Newfoundland was chartered in 1854 and operated entirely outside the Canadian banking framework until Confederation absorbed Newfoundland in 1949 — meaning notes like this one circulated in a jurisdiction that ran its own currency system well into the twentieth century. In 1882, Newfoundland still denominated in dollars pegged loosely to its own standard, not the Canadian dollar, which adds a layer of monetary complexity that the face value alone doesn't communicate.
The American Bank Note Company held the contract for much of Newfoundland's commercial paper printing during this period. ABNC's New York plant produced work for dozens of colonial and semi-autonomous issuers simultaneously, and the engraving quality on Union Bank material is consistent with their mid-tier commercial commissions of the 1880s.
