| 背面描述 | The reverse is printed in a uniform terracotta-orange ink and consists entirely of a repetitive geometric guilloche pattern arranged as a grid of circular lathe-work medallions covering the full surface of the note, with no vignette, text, or denomination inscription, functioning as a decorative security underprint. |

| 备注 |
The Union Bank of Montreal was incorporated in 1865 — which makes a note attributed to it in 1838 immediately suspicious. No Union Bank of Montreal existed under that name at that date. Lower Canada had several chartered banks operating in 1838, including the Bank of Montreal and the City Bank, but "Union Bank, Montreal" as an 1838 issuer does not correspond to any institution in the historical record of Canadian banking.
Verify the issuer name and date against the physical note before cataloging further. Misattributions in this segment of pre-Confederation Canadian banknotes are common, and the Pick reference P#1978 does not resolve cleanly to a confirmed series.
