J. B. Laliberté was a well-established Quebec City furrier whose private scrip issues functioned as store currency — redeemable against purchases rather than at any bank. The 1986 date places this firmly in the modern exonumia category, almost certainly a promotional or commemorative piece rather than genuine emergency scrip, as privately issued substitute currency had no legal footing in Canada by that point.
The narrow format is characteristic of merchant token notes intended for quick counter transactions or display purposes. Worth tracking as a piece of Quebec commercial ephemera rather than monetary history.
