| Obverse lettering | BANK OF WESTERN CANADA TWO DOLLARS INCORPORATED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT CAPITAL $1,000,000 CLIFTON 1859 American Bank Note Company 2 TWO |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a single reddish-brown ink and presents a mirror-image transfer of the obverse design elements, a common security measure employed by American Bank Note Company in this era. The large word 'TWO' is printed in bold block letters across the centre of the note, flanked by the numeral '2' counters and repeated 'TWO' lettering along both vertical margins. The overall layout is deliberately reversed so as to be legible only when the note is held to the light. |
