The Australian Bank of Commerce Limited had an exceptionally short life — formed in 1910 through the merger of the Bank of Queensland and the London Bank of Australia, it was absorbed into the Bank of Australasia within the same year. This note belongs to that narrow window, which makes it one of the rarest issues in the entire catalogue of Australian private banking.
By 1910, private banknote issue in Australia was already in terminal decline, squeezed out by Commonwealth notes legislation. A bank that existed for only months, issuing notes under regulations that were already obsolete, left almost nothing behind.
