| Opmerkingen |
The Farmers Bank of Rustico operated on Prince Edward Island and holds the unusual distinction of being the only Roman Catholic parish-sponsored bank in Canadian history. Founded largely through the efforts of Father Georges-Antoine Belcourt, a missionary-turned-agrarian-reformer, it served Acadian farming communities who had been systematically excluded from credit by the established anglophone banks. The institution was tiny by any measure, and its note issues were correspondingly small in volume.
The dual printer credit — American Bank Note Company and British American Bank Note Company — reflects a transitional arrangement around ABNC's establishment of its Ottawa subsidiary in 1866. Surviving examples are genuinely scarce.
