| 正面描述 | The obverse is laid out in a bilingual format, with French and English text in parallel columns. At the top, the bank title LA BANQUE DU PEUPLE is inscribed in large letters across the full width. Three allegorical female figures serve as vignettes: a seated figure at left, a central standing figure holding a sheaf of wheat within an ornate surround, and a figure at right seated on a globe. The denomination is stated in both languages as UN LOUIS / ONE POUND and Cinq Chelins / Five Shillings, with MONTREAL indicated as the place of issue, flanked by the numeral 5 in the corners. |

| 备注 |
The Banque du Peuple had an unusual political character for a colonial-era bank: it was founded in 1835 largely by Patriote-sympathizing francophone merchants, and its early years were shadowed by the 1837–38 Lower Canada Rebellion. That it survived the rebellion and its aftermath at all is noteworthy. By 1845, the bank had stabilized enough to issue notes like this one, but it remained perpetually undercapitalized relative to its anglophone rivals and finally failed in 1895 after a fraud scandal involving its management.
The trilingual denomination — French, English, and a dollar equivalent — reflects Lower Canada's commercial reality, where transactions crossed currency systems routinely.
