The Merchants Bank of Canada was already in serious trouble by 1919 — it would be absorbed by the Bank of Montreal in 1922 after a collapse driven by bad loans and mismanagement under E.S. Clouston's successors. Notes of this issue therefore had an unusually short practical window, and many were recalled and destroyed during the merger. The American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant, which had taken over Canadian chartered bank printing from the New York operation after the First World War, handled the production.
Survivors in any grade are proportionally scarce given the issuer's abrupt end.
