The Royal Bank of Canada operated branches across the Caribbean well into the twentieth century, and this dual-denomination note — valued at both 5 Dollars and 1 Pound 10 Pence — was issued specifically for use in territories where sterling and dollar systems overlapped. The fixed exchange rate of 4 shillings 2 pence to the dollar underpins the equivalence printed on the face.
Canadian chartered banks retained the legal right to issue their own currency in certain colonial markets long after domestic Canadian note issue was effectively nationalized. The 1938 date places this near the end of that privilege.
