| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a central oval vignette containing a bust portrait of an elderly bearded gentleman, set against an intricate guilloche underprint. To the left, a small circular vignette presents a steamship at sea, while to the right a corresponding vignette shows a steam locomotive. The bank title THE MOLSONS BANK arcs across the top in bold letterpress, with the denomination TEN DOLLARS inscribed below the portrait; the date 2ND JANUARY, 1912 and the place of issue MONTREAL appear flanking the promise to pay clause. |
