| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in a rich intaglio style with an ornate guilloche underprint. A central X-shaped vignette in dark ink bears the denomination numeral '10' repeated at each intersection, flanked by portrait medallions of two bearded gentlemen — one to the left and one to the right. The upper portion carries the bank title 'Bank of Montreal' in bold script above the legend 'To Bearer On Demand', with the date 'Montreal, Jan. 2nd, 1895' inscribed below the central device, and the fully spelled denomination 'TEN DOLLARS' in a panel at the foot. |

Large numeral '10' panels in ornate guilloche surround the central vignette to left and right, with 'BANK OF MONTREAL' lettered across the top and 'TEN DOLLARS' in a panel below the building. |
