| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three oval portrait vignettes: at centre, a standing three-quarter figure of Jacques Cartier in Renaissance attire; at lower left, a bust portrait of a woman; and at lower right, a bust portrait of a man. The word DEUX appears at left and TWO at right in large serif numerals, with the bank title LA BANQUE JACQUES CARTIER arching across the top between the inscriptions PROVINCE and DU CANADA. A fine guilloche underprint fills the background, and the promise text reading DEUX PIASTRES and TWO DOLLARS appears in two bilingual columns flanking the central vignette. The note is dated Montréal, 2 Janvier 1863, with capital stated as $1,000,000 and two manuscript signatures at the base. |
