Molsons Bank — founded in 1855 as a chartered extension of the Molson brewing and commercial empire — issued denominations that deliberately avoided the standard tier. A 6 Dollar note is an oddity in any North American series; this value was intended to satisfy the practical arithmetic of the pre-decimal era, where a note exchangeable for one pound sterling at the then-current rate of roughly $4.86 required a denomination near that figure, and banks sometimes rounded to a commercially convenient equivalent.
The British American Bank Note Company had only been founded in 1866, making this 1871 issue among the printer's early chartered bank commissions out of Montreal.
