The Royal Bank of Canada's decision to denominate this note in both dollars and sterling — 5 Dollars equaling 1 Pound 10 Pence — reflects the currency ambiguity that persisted in Canadian commerce long after Confederation. British sterling remained a practical reference point for trade, particularly in Atlantic-facing commerce, and dual-denomination notes smoothed transactions across that divide.
The American Bank Note Company held long-running contracts with several Canadian chartered banks during this period, producing work of consistently high intaglio quality from its New York facilities. By 1920, however, the dual-denomination convention was already commercially obsolete — Canada had committed firmly to the decimal dollar system, and this series was not long-lived.
