The Farmers Bank of Rustico holds a singular place in Canadian banking history as the only chartered bank ever operated by a Roman Catholic parish — founded in 1861 by Father Georges-Antoine Belcourt on Prince Edward Island to extend credit to Acadian fishing and farming communities shut out by anglophone commercial banks. It was never large, never influential beyond its immediate community, and lost its federal charter under the Bank Act of 1871, which imposed capitalization requirements the institution simply could not meet.
This 1872 note was issued after that charter lapsed, making its legal standing as a circulating instrument genuinely questionable. The bank limped on informally until 1894.
