The Bank of Prince Edward Island was chartered in 1855 and began issuing notes the following year, making this among its earliest paper. The dual denomination — expressing the colonial Island currency equivalent in pounds sterling — reflects the monetary confusion common to British North American colonies before Confederation, where local and sterling values coexisted on the same instrument as a matter of practical necessity.
The American Bank Note Company's New York plant handled security printing for numerous colonial Canadian issuers during this period. The bank itself failed in 1881, and unredeemed notes were largely written off.
