Obverse description	Dark intaglio-printed note with a central guilloche vignette bearing the numeral 10, flanked by two portrait medallions — a younger man with spectacles at left and an older man with a moustache at right. The issuer's name arcs across the top in bold letterpress, with the place and date of issue reading 'Toronto, 3rd Jan. 1939' and the promise to pay legend below; serial number E073515 appears twice in the upper field, with denomination counters in each corner and ornate lathe-work borders throughout.

Reverse description	Printed in dark blue intaglio, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate cartouche of fine guilloche scrollwork enclosing large numeral counters '10' at left and right. At centre, a circular vignette displays a crowned lion passant guardant standing on a crown, serving as the bank's heraldic device; the issuer's name is inscribed across the top and the denomination 'TEN DOLLARS' appears at the foot within the border.
