City Bank of New Brunswick was a short-lived chartered institution operating in what was still a British colonial province — New Brunswick wouldn't enter Confederation for another three decades. Denominations in shillings and pence were standard colonial practice, pegged to the Halifax currency scale rather than sterling, a distinction that caused genuine commercial confusion when notes crossed provincial lines.
P#972A is rare enough that auction appearances are infrequent. Most surviving City Bank paper shows heavy wear, consistent with active mercantile use in a port economy heavily dependent on the timber trade.
