The serial number E063505 appears in red at upper left and upper right, with two facsimile signatures of General Manager and President positioned below the central vignette. |

| 背面描述 | Printed in deep blue intaglio, the reverse is dominated by a large central vignette of a crowned lion passant guardant set upon a royal crown, enclosed within an ornate guilloche border. The denomination numerals 10 appear in stylized script to each side of the central vignette, with intricate lathe-work filling the entire field. The bank title IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA runs along the top, and TEN DOLLARS is inscribed in a panel at the base. |

The Imperial Bank of Canada was absorbed into the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in 1961, making all its pre-merger private issues effectively legacy paper. By 1934, chartered bank note issuance in Canada was already in terminal decline — the Bank of Canada Act of that year established the central bank, and privately issued currency was phased out over the following decade, with chartered banks losing their right of issue entirely by 1950.
The Canadian Bank Note Company produced the bulk of chartered bank issues during this final period. Notes from the 1934 run saw limited circulation as the public increasingly held Dominion of Canada and later Bank of Canada issues as the preferred instrument.
