Produced for the 2024 Quebec Winter Carnival centenary-adjacent celebrations, this is a numismatic apprenticeship piece — a note designed explicitly to introduce younger collectors to the hobby rather than to circulate as a trade or souvenir currency in any conventional sense. GraphX, a Québec-based specialist printer, handled production locally, which is consistent with how regional carnival scrip and commemorative ephemera have been handled in the province for decades.
Claude Bernard's design credit is worth noting — he has been a recurring figure in Québec numismatic club projects.
