La banque du Séminaire St. Charles-Borromée, 6 uniface notes.
Lot of six uniface notes of "La Banque du Séminaire st. Charles - Borromée, Sherbrooke, Quebec", comprising : 1 - Note denominated as 1 cent "Paiera en enseignment" printed in black on orange stock. This one, alone, is named as "Banque du Séminaire St. Charles". 60 x 107 mm. 2 - Notes of similar design, denominated as 20 cents and 50¢. 60 x 120 mm. 3 - larges notes, denominated as $1 - $2 & $5. 70 x 182 mm. The $1 is printed in violet, and is quite faded; the $2 is in black, the $5 is in green. The central vignette of the three is "BSSC" in an arabesque lozenge. These are also marked "will pay to the bearer in tuition on receipt of current funds". Here as well, we find no reference. All six of these notes show remnants of stamp hinges on the reverse. Surely quite rare, and though undated, were probably issued in the late 19th century.
