Canada Dominion of Canada $2 1.6.1878 DC-9c PMG Very Good 10. An elusive "Payable at St. John" example from the 1878 issue, this note features the Earl of Dufferin's portrait on the face and the Great Seal of Canada on the back. A limited quantity of 50,000 notes from this receiver general's office were printed, which was the lowest of any of the four domiciliary locations. As of 2016, the Canadian Paper Money Society Note Registry reported six known examples of the St. John variety, with three of those held in institutional collections. The PMG Population Report shows three graded pieces, a Good 6, Very Good 10, and Fine 15. An annotation over the back seal is noted on this Dominion of Canada rarity.
