| Obverse description | Political propaganda fantasy note issued as electoral material by Liberal candidate Raymond Drouin. The vignette reproduces a portrait of Québec Premier René Lévesque on a note rendered as torn in half, symbolising monetary devaluation under separation. The fictitious issuing authority "BANQUE DU QUÉBEC" and denomination "1 UN PÉCU" are inscribed in letterpress, with the satirical legend "LE PRIX DE LA SÉPARATION" (The Cost of Separation). |
