CH 785-10-12a. Printed by British American Bank Note Co. Ltd. with red ST. FRANCOIS DU LAC Overprint. La Banque Ville-Marie was open from 1872 until 1899. This was a legitimate banking institution but many officials associated with the bank abused their privileges and took excessive lines of credit or misused bank assets. The president and chief accountant actually did time in jail for their role in the bank’s failure. Although this note has seen some restoration, PMG rated this as a choice F15. S/N: 11645/A.
