Ashish had displayed mostly chartered banknotes and scripts, including the rare $3 and $4 banknotes. Ashish had been collecting Canadian and Mauritius banknotes for the last four years. In that four years, Ashish had invested lots of hours researching, learning and acquiring rare coins and banknotes of Canada and Mauritius.
In the last couple of years, Ashish had done three coins and banknotes shows in the surrounding towns and he is not planning to stop soon. He wants to share his knowledge to more and more people and educate them about Canadian coins and paper money.
Between 1871 and 1944, Canadian chartered banks were authorized to issue banknotes for circulation in Canada. For several decades thereafter, the chartered banks were the only issuers of larger denominated notes for circulation in Canada.
