| Obverse description | The obverse is engraved in a classical intaglio style typical of American Bank Note Company issues. A central vignette presents a reclining lion atop a globe, flanked on the left by an oval portrait medallion of a male figure in military dress and on the right by an oval portrait of Queen Victoria in crown and regalia. The denomination "FOUR" appears in large red letterpress across the lower centre, with the bank title "BANK OF WESTERN CANADA" inscribed across the middle, and the numeral "4" repeated in each corner within guilloche panels. |
