This is a fantasy or novelty piece, not a government-issued banknote. No "Territory of Quebec" exists as a political or administrative entity, and Canada's federal government has never issued currency under that designation. The note has no legal tender status anywhere.
Franck Medina is a French graphic artist known for producing elaborate hypothetical banknote designs, typically sold as collectible art prints rather than circulated currency. The watermark is a design affectation, not a security measure with any regulatory standing.
