Caribbean notes

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

Barclays Bank also issued notes under its name Dominion, Colonial and Overseas Bank. Those notes are pricey.

There is one other that occurs to me - the Union Bank of Halifax, issue for Trinidad.  Sadly no issued notes are known to survive, but a few years ago I did find proof that they were in circulation.

Speaking of the Union Bank, the Union Bank of Canada has proofs from its Chinese subsidiary, the Park Union Bank. This would be like the Barclays Bank which had subsidiaries in other countries, one of which was Canada.

Dear Newbie:
                     You ask about a list of the Canada-Caribbean banknotes for the British West Indies;   the list which I use came from an old 1st edition Charlton catalog which I found at a flea market.   I have asssumed that list is complete, although I am led to believe that some of the notes which were then listed as SPECIMEN have in fact since  been found as issued notes  (with serial numbers and signatures and with evidence of circulation),  although I have no details  of specific  notes.
                      You will see from above entries that several members of this Forum have very kindly provided some images  of  notes  from  thei collections, ,  for which images I thank them.   Also I have  been ransacking ebayand google, etc. and  did iund a few more images  there.  Altogether I am now missing seven obverses  (mostly  Canadian Bank of Commerce issues and issues  for Jamaica)  and eleven reverses.
                       I am certainly a novice at this, but I have not been able to ascertain if there is any one collector who is generally  considered to be THE expert  on  this exotic area of numismatics. 
                     Thank you for your inquiry, and I hope this bit of information has been helpful to you.
