| Obverse description | Yellow guilloche underprint covers the entire field, with the denomination numeral '75' in large ornate cartouches at left and right. A central vignette presents the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom flanked by a lion and a rearing unicorn, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. An oval portrait vignette at lower left shows a classical female figure, with two facsimile signatures below — General Manager at left and President at right — and a micro-text border reading '75 SEVENTY-FIVE' along the bottom. |

| Comments |
The Toronto Coin Club's 75 Dollar note was issued as a commemorative scrip piece, almost certainly tied to a club anniversary or numismatic event — 75 being an unconventional denomination that signals a celebratory purpose rather than any transactional one. Henry's Bank Note Company, Limited is a small specialty printer catering specifically to this corner of the hobby, producing items that deliberately reference historical Canadian private banking aesthetics without pretending to be anything other than collector ephemera.
No monetary authority backs these; they circulate only within the social economy of club events, auctions, and bourse floors.
