Montreal, PQ- Banque D'Hochelaga $5 Jan. 2, 1874 Ch. # 360-10-06. Of the dozens of rare notes from this bank to pass through our auctions, this is the earliest issue we have handled. Survivors prior to the issues of the 1890s are rarely seen and can be considered institutional caliber when encountered. This note is evenly circulated with bright paper and deep inks. Some pulls, a tear, and evidence of previous mounting are noted, but will not detract the die hard Canadian Charter collectors. PMG Very Fine 25, previously mounted with an approximate .375 inch bottom edge tear. HID08701242017
Estimate: 35000-50000 USD
