A collectible Newfoundland 1 Dollar note issued in 1920 and bearing the signature of Brownrigg. Produced while Newfoundland was still a self-governing British Dominion, this note predates the province's entry into the Canadian Confederation in 1949 and serves as an important reminder of Newfoundland's independent financial and political history.
In 1920, 1 Dollar represented meaningful purchasing power—equivalent to approximately two to three days' wages for many laborers. It was enough to purchase a week's supply of basic groceries for a small family, several kilograms of staple foods, or pay for a few days' lodging and meals, making it a widely used denomination in everyday commerce.
Certified Choice F15 by World Money Grading, this note displays honest circulation with clear design details, strong character, and pleasing originality for its grade. Its historical significance and classic design make it an appealing example of pre-Confederation Newfoundland currency.
An attractive and historically significant banknote, ideal for collectors of Newfoundland currency, Canadian numismatics, pre-Confederation issues, and world paper money.
