MB10-06bi. Hudson's Bay Company One Pound Sterling certificate for the York Factory in Ruperts Land, dated 11 day of May, 1820. About uncirculated condition. Payable sixty days after sight at the Hudson Bay House, London. From its long-time headquarters at York Factory on Hudson Bay, the company controlled the fur trade throughout North America for several centuries. Undertaking early exploration, its traders and trappers forged relationships with many groups of aboriginal peoples. Its network of trading posts formed the nucleus for later official authority in many areas of Western Canada and the United States. Fairly rare and certainly desirable; especially in this condition. S/N: 621.
