Obverse description	Printed in black on white cotton paper, the obverse is divided into three vertical panels: at left, a standing allegorical female figure with a staff rests her arm on a globe beside a large numeral "3" within an oval lathe-work medallion; at centre, a rural industrial vignette presents a watermill, stacked timber, and figures at labour amid trees; at right, a second oval medallion with the numeral "3" accompanies a female portrait within a wreath, with two counter stamps inscribed "THREE" in a rectangular panel below. The issuer's name "Bank of Ottawa Montreal" runs in bold script across the lower centre, above the promise-to-pay text and the denomination "THREE DOLLARS" in large letters.
