2 Dollars

Obverse description	The obverse carries a central pastoral vignette of a river scene with horse-drawn figures in the foreground and a railway train crossing a bridge in the middle distance, executed in fine intaglio engraving. At left, a standing female figure bears a basket on her head, while at right a male figure with a hammer serves as a counterpart vignette, both flanking the central composition. The bank title THE BANK OF BRANTFORD is set in bold letterpress across the centre, with the denomination numeral 2 printed in outline at each upper corner and the imprint of the American Bank Note Company noted in the upper border.

Reverse description	The reverse is essentially plain, printed on cream-coloured cotton paper with faint residual ink show-through from the obverse vignettes visible in raking light, consistent with the thin paper stock typical of mid-nineteenth-century Canadian chartered bank issues. A ghosted impression of the obverse central vignette and corner numerals is discernible, but no independent design elements are present on this side.
