The Banque d'Hochelaga was a Montreal-based French-Canadian institution, founded in 1874 to serve a francophone commercial community largely excluded from the Anglo-dominated Bank of Montreal and its peers. By 1911 it was a mid-sized regional bank with real ambitions — it would eventually be absorbed into what became the Banque Canadienne Nationale in 1924.
The American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant handled much of the chartered bank printing for Canada in this period, operating under Dominion government supervision. High-denomination chartered bank notes like this 100 Piastres — the French-language designation used alongside "Dollars" on Hochelaga issues — circulated in limited numbers and were disproportionately subject to redemption and destruction, making survivors genuinely uncommon.
