Gifts of Diamonds

Product Overview

This five-dollar banknote was issued by the Molsons Bank in 1905. Notes from this elusive bank are scarce and highly sought-after, both for their rarity and for their connection to the famous brewing company. The note is independently third-party certified and graded by PMG as Very Good 10. 

The Molsons Bank was open from 1837 to 1925, and the first banknotes they printed were dated as 1837. They did not issue money again until 1853, because Canada passed a law that limited banking institutions with note-issuing rights to banks that were run purely by bankers. The Molsons were disqualified because of their association with brewing and distilling. In 1853 they started banking again under the Free Banking Act. The Molsons Bank issued a huge variety of designs and denominations of currency.
