Bank of Montreal Second of Exchange Note to London for 200 pounds 1886
Issued in Ottawa 16 February 1886, to the company office in London, G.B. These notes were like insurance policies for the first bill of exchange, sent by ship over the Atlantic. Should the ship sink, the money sent was not lost. A scarce and interesting document of monetary and banking history.
