Comment
This token was issued to replace the old one which displayed “100.000” in the center.
The draws were carried out weekly and the winning numbers published in the Saturday edition of the newspaper La Presse under the name “Mascottes”. It is believed that the “8-13” written on the “125,000” token could be its date of issue (August 1913).
La Presse, Saturday August 30, 1913
