The Merchants Bank of Halifax was one of the more aggressive Maritime expansionists of the post-Confederation period, pushing hard into central Canadian markets through the 1870s. It was also one of the early casualties of that ambition — the bank collapsed in 1887, just four years after this note was printed, following a prolonged crisis of confidence in its loan portfolio. Notes dated 1883 were among the last issued before the institution became insolvent.
The British American Bank Note Company in Ottawa handled the bulk of Canadian chartered bank printing during this period. Any surviving $20 from this short-lived issuer is a rarity by circumstance, not rarity by design.
