| Opmerkingen |
The Commercial Bank of the Midland District was one of Upper Canada's smaller chartered banks, headquartered in Kingston, and this dual-denomination note — expressing value simultaneously in dollars and shillings — reflects the genuinely messy monetary arithmetic of pre-Confederation Canada, where American dollars, British sterling, and Halifax currency all circulated in parallel without any fixed official equivalence.
The printer credit is uncertain: Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Co. became Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson in 1843, the same year this note was issued, which is why catalog attribution hedges between the two imprints. The transition was a partnership reorganization, not a change of premises or equipment — the New York shop continued without interruption.
