| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in green and black intaglio on white cotton paper. At left, a vignette of a monument — likely the Nelson Column in Montreal — rises above a detailed architectural base, flanked by vertical guilloche panels bearing the word DIX in large numerals. At centre-right, an oval portrait vignette of a bearded gentleman in formal dress is set within fine lathe-work, with the bank's name BANQUE D'HOCHELAGA in bold letterpress across the upper register, the denomination DIX PIASTRES / TEN below the portrait, serial numbers in red at upper left and right, and a manuscript date reading Montréal, le 22 Février 1911 above two handwritten signatures. |

The Banque d'Hochelaga was a Montreal-based French-Canadian chartered bank that operated from 1874 until its merger into the Banque Canadienne Nationale in 1924. This 1911 note was produced by the American Bank Note Company's Ottawa facility — ABNC had established a Canadian operation specifically to service the chartered bank note market, which remained a private-sector affair in Canada until the Bank of Canada's founding in 1935.
The ten-piastre denomination is the French-language equivalent of ten dollars, a usage that persisted in Quebec banking well into the twentieth century despite having largely disappeared from everyday speech. Notes from this series tend to show heavy circulation wear; the Hochelaga served a working commercial clientele and its paper moved.
