Molsons Bank was one of Canada's longest-surviving chartered private banks, tracing its origins to 1855 and backed by the Molson brewing and industrial fortune. By 1922, the chartered bank era in Canada was already contracting — mergers and federal policy were steadily consolidating the sector. Molsons Bank itself was absorbed by the Bank of Montreal just two years after this note was issued, in 1925, making late-dated Molsons notes genuinely terminal survivors of a disappearing institution.
The British American Bank Note Company had been handling Molsons work for decades by this point. Notes from the final years of issue tend to surface in higher grades than earlier dates, likely because the 1925 merger cut circulation short.
