This note occupies an odd moment in Canadian banking history: the $5 / £1 10s dual denomination was a direct product of the currency transition underway in Newfoundland, where sterling reckoning remained in everyday use long after Canada had standardized on dollars. The Royal Bank had absorbed the Union Bank of Halifax in 1910 and was aggressively expanding its Atlantic operations, and notes denominated in both currencies were a practical necessity for branches operating across that boundary.
Henry Holt, whose signature appears here as H.S. Holt, was simultaneously president of the Royal Bank and of the Montreal Light, Heat and Power Company — a concentration of financial and industrial power that would later draw parliamentary scrutiny.
