The Yamaska Hotel, St. Hyacinthe, Quebec Very Rare 5c Scrip Note 1889
In very fragile condition, virtually torn in half. The date of 18 / 2 /1889 appears below the left signature, apparently written by the same hand upon signing. This piece is nicely designed, in the style of the 1870 shinplaster. Unilingual English. The reverse features an engraving of the hotel, with the Latin motto above : PANIS - VINUM - SED NON VERBA ( bread, wine, but no words ).
