| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in olive-green and pink tones, with a three-quarter portrait of Queen Elizabeth II at right in intaglio, based on a photograph taken shortly after her coronation. The word CANADA in large serif capitals dominates the upper centre, flanked by the bilingual denomination ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS and MILLE DOLLARS, set against a fine guilloche underprint. The issuer name BANK OF CANADA – BANQUE DU CANADA appears in a panel across the lower centre, above a promise-to-pay clause, the Ottawa date, and two facsimile signatures. |
