La Banque Nationale was a Quebec-based chartered bank, not a central bank — the name causes persistent confusion. Founded in Quebec City in 1860, it operated under Canada's banking legislation and issued its own notes as circulating currency, a normal arrangement under the pre-Confederation and early post-Confederation framework that permitted private chartered banks to issue their own paper.
The British American Bank Note Company had only recently been formed in 1866 through a merger of two earlier Ottawa-based engraving firms, and Montreal work in 1871 represents some of their earliest output as a consolidated operation. La Banque Nationale was absorbed into the Banque Canadienne Nationale in 1924.
