The Metropolitan Bank of Canada was a mid-sized Ontario institution that merged into the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1914 — meaning its note-issuing life was short and its circulation area geographically concentrated. By 1909, Canadian chartered bank notes were already being squeezed out of smaller denominations by Dominion government currency, so higher-denomination commercial paper like this $20 saw most of its use in wholesale trade and interbank settlement rather than everyday commerce.
The American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant handled the bulk of Canadian chartered bank work in this period. ABNC Ottawa jobs from 1909 are identifiable by specific serial number prefix conventions that differ from the firm's New York output.
