The Canadian Bank of Commerce was one of the major chartered banks operating under the Bank Act, which permitted private note issue well into the twentieth century — Canada didn't centralize currency issuance under the Bank of Canada until 1935, and chartered banks retained the right to circulate their own notes until 1950. The 1921 series came at a complicated moment: post-war deflation had hammered commodity prices, and western agricultural regions were under serious financial strain.
The American Bank Note Company operated a Ottawa plant specifically to handle Canadian chartered bank work, keeping sensitive currency printing domestic rather than routing it through their New York facility as had been common in earlier decades.
