The Commercial Bank of New Zealand Limited was established in 1866 — the same year this note was issued — with backing from London capital at a moment when Canterbury province was driving aggressive pastoral expansion. Perkins, Bacon & Petch had by this point a long record of printing colonial currency and postage stamps across the British Empire, their intaglio work considered among the most difficult to counterfeit available to colonial issuers at the time.
A £20 denomination in 1866 New Zealand represented serious commercial weight, aimed squarely at inter-merchant and station transactions rather than everyday retail. Very few examples are known to have survived.
