Hudson's Bay Company posts in remote British Columbia occasionally issued their own fractional currency when coin simply didn't reach them. Dease Post — a trading outpost in the far northwest of the province near the Dease River — was genuinely isolated, and small-denomination scrip like this filled the gap left by the colonial monetary supply. The 125 cents denomination is an odd one, almost certainly tied to the Company's fur trade pricing conventions rather than any standard monetary unit.
HBC post scrip is among the rarest North American paper, with survival rates close to negligible. Most was redeemed at the post itself and destroyed.
