| 正面铭文 | *AGRICULTURE & COMMERCE* BAS-CANADA |
| 背面描述 | The central field bears the denomination UN SOU in two lines, surrounded by a wreath composed of two crossed oak branches with acorns and lobed leaves rendered in moderately high relief, the branches crossed at the base and tied. The peripheral legend BANQUE DU PEUPLE arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while MONTREAL is inscribed along the lower arc, all lettering in upright Latin characters. The overall design is bold and legible, consistent with the utilitarian emergency token coinage issued during the 1837 Rebellion period in Lower Canada. |

The Banque du Peuple was founded in 1835 by Louis-Michel Viger and a group of Patriote-aligned investors as a direct counterweight to the anglophone-controlled Bank of Montreal. This token was struck in the charged atmosphere immediately preceding the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837–38, when the Patriotes under Louis-Joseph Papineau were actively pushing economic nationalism — including organized boycotts of British goods and institutions — as a political weapon against the colonial administration.
The rebellion collapsed by late 1837, and the bank itself failed in 1838. Tokens issued this close to an armed insurrection rarely survive in quantity.
