| Obverse lettering | ONE UNE 1 BANQUE CANADIENNE. UNE Piastres St. Hyacinthe |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and displays a bold lathe-work pattern of six large concentric-circle guilloche rosettes arranged in two columns flanking a central white horizontal band. At the centre of the note, within a rectangular frame, stands a full-length intaglio vignette of a male figure in period dress, with decorative scrollwork borders above and below. The overall design relies heavily on engine-turned geometric underprint as the primary security element, with no text legend visible. |

| Comments |
No institution called "Banque Canadienne" issued notes in 1836, and P#1596 does not correspond to any verified Canadian colonial bank in the standard references. The data as supplied cannot be confirmed against known catalogs for Lower Canada, Upper Canada, or any other jurisdiction of that period.
