| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black intaglio on a peach-tinted underprint. At left, an oval vignette presents a portrait of Queen Victoria in imperial regalia with veil and crown. The centre carries a large ornate numeral '5000' within an elaborate guilloche medallion, flanked by repeated '5000' counters at each corner. At top, the legend 'The Dominion of Canada / WILL PAY' appears in bold letterpress script, with date and authorization text above reading 'OTTAWA, JANY 2ND 1924' and 'AUTHORIZED BY 3 GEORGE V CAP. 4 1914'. The lower portion bears the denomination inscription 'FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS' and a lengthy legal tender clause specifying the note's conditions of use, with a manuscript signature at lower right and cancellation punch holes visible at lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in brown intaglio on white paper. The design consists of a symmetrical arrangement of interlocking guilloche rosettes: a large central medallion bearing the numeral '5000' with dollar sign, flanked by two smaller circular guilloche panels each inscribed '5000'. Corner counters repeat the denomination '5000' at all four angles. The inscription 'DOMINION OF CANADA' appears in a curved banner at the top centre, and 'FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS' is lettered in a straight panel at the lower centre, all within a finely engraved lathe-work border. |
