The dual denomination — 5 Dollars on one face, 1 Pound 10 Pence on the other — was a direct commercial necessity, not a design curiosity. The Royal Bank of Canada maintained significant operations in the British Caribbean, and notes that could pass on either side of that currency divide saved the cost of maintaining two separate series. This particular issue was authorized under the Bank Act and printed by the American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant, which had been established specifically to reduce Canadian dependence on the New York facilities.
The pound-dollar parity reflected here — 1£10s to $5 — was the longstanding fixed rate used across the Eastern Caribbean at the time.
