No Bank of Canada existed until 1934. Notes issued under that name in 1818–1823 almost certainly originate from one of the early Montreal-based private chartered banks — likely the Bank of Montreal, which received its charter in 1817 and began issuing bilingual dollar/piastre notes almost immediately. The dual denomination wording reflects Lower Canada's practical reality: a French-speaking population that calculated in livres and piastres alongside an anglophone merchant class working in dollars.
The Pick reference P#1593 does not correspond to any entry in standard Krause/Pick cataloguing for the Bank of Canada series, which begins decades later. Verify the issuing institution before listing.
