Depicts the standing figure of a habitat (a French-Canadian farmer) in winter dress, with his tuque (knit cap), frock overcoat of homespun with hood, moccasins, sash and whip. Province name above, value below.

It was thought that the figure resembled Louis-Joseph Papineau, a leader of the Rebellion of 1837, and the tokens became known as 'Papineaus.' The habitant design was subsequently revived on tokens issued by the Quebec Bank in 1852, and for several decades bank tokens made up a large part of the small coins in circulation.

Depicts a seated female figure of Commerce with cornucopia facing right. Cliff in the background with fort flying flag. To her left, a beehive. To her right a sailing ship and a beaver. Shield with a lion in the foreground. Lettering above and below.
