A highly collectible Newfoundland 1 Dollar note issued in 1920 and bearing the signatures of Hickey & Brownrigg. Printed while Newfoundland was still a self-governing British Dominion, this note predates the province's entry into the Canadian Confederation in 1949 and represents an important chapter in Newfoundland's independent monetary history.

In 1920, 1 Dollar represented meaningful purchasing power—equivalent to approximately two to three days' wages for many laborers. It was sufficient to purchase a week's supply of basic groceries for a small family, several kilograms of staple foods, or cover a few days' lodging and meals, making it an essential denomination in everyday commerce throughout Newfoundland.

This issue is admired for its classic engraved design, detailed craftsmanship, and historical significance as one of the principal circulating notes of pre-Confederation Newfoundland. Notes bearing the Hickey & Brownrigg signature combination are especially popular among collectors of Newfoundland paper money.

An attractive and historically significant banknote, ideal for collectors of Newfoundland currency, Canadian numismatics, pre-Confederation issues, and world paper money.
