Summary:  BANK OF UPPER CANADA * 1850 *

Letter color code: Black = normal, Green = broken & unrepaired, Brown = broken with noteworthy repunching

Special Comments:

In BANK and CANADA the N is repunched with a new font with very thin serifs. The thin serifs of the new font show at the left upper corner and the left side of the top of the right leg.

In UPPER the original Ps with broken upper left corners are repunched in slightly lower relief in a new font with the upper left serif tapers (in the original font they were parallel). On better condition examples one can see the edges of the broken corners.

In UPPER the original E with a broken top arm has been repunched in lower relief, so that on higher grade examples one can still see the broken edges of the gap in the top arm and doubling of the upper left serif.

In CANADA the A is repunched to the left in slightly lower relief, causing doubling of the left side of the left leg and the right side of the inner triangle.
