| Opmerkingen |
The Royal Bank of Canada had only recently relocated its head office from Halifax to Montreal when this series was issued, and the dual denomination — dollars alongside the sterling equivalent in pounds, shillings, and pence — reflects the lingering commercial ties to Caribbean and South American branches where British currency conventions remained practical. The sterling conversion printed directly on the face was a genuine operational necessity, not decorative tradition.
American Bank Note Company's Ottawa facility handled production, one of several Canadian chartered bank contracts the firm held during this period before the Bank of Canada's 1935 establishment eventually ended private note issue entirely.
