Bah, ne vous en faites pas... Je viens de trouver un peu d'info:
C'est un billet d'une banque qui semble n'avoir jamais existé.
"BANK ISSUES
This is a very large and satisfying field. It, in my opinion, should not be divided by notes that remain redeemable, and those which are not. Some of the rarer notes are of the latter category. Some of this group, although old and historic can be purchased at reasonable prices in uncirculated or very fine condition, because of their large issue and the fact they were not redeemed. Others lacking one or both signatures were made available years later from unissued stock in the hands of the Bank at the time of its demise as a result of failure or other circumstances.
This group would, for instance, include the one denomination (une piastre) note of La Banque de Boucherville where the provisional directors had ordered and secured the engraved printing plate for their one dollar note, before their application for a charter was denied. Notes were printed but not put into circulation. They are scarce but not rare.
