Vorderseitenbeschreibung Black intaglio print on green guilloche underprint. A central vignette occupies the majority of the note, presenting a large passenger steamship under way at sea, rendered in fine engraved detail. Denomination numerals and the sterling equivalent appear in each upper corner, with the issuer title in bold letterpress across the top, place and date inscriptions in script at lower left, and the denomination in script at lower right; the printer's imprint appears at the bottom margin.

Rückseitenbeschreibung Entirely engraved in green ink on white paper. The British Royal coat of arms, supported by a lion and a unicorn, is centrally placed within an ornate border of guilloche scrollwork and corner rosettes. The denomination and sterling equivalent appear in bold text to each side of the arms, and the issuer's name is set in a decorative panel at the foot of the design; the motto ribbons and printer's imprint complete the composition.

Anmerkungen

The dual denomination — 5 Dollars on one face, 1 Pound 10 Pence on the reverse — reflects a transitional moment in Canadian commerce when sterling equivalencies still appeared on some bank-issued notes to facilitate trade with Britain and the Caribbean. The Royal Bank had substantial operations in the West Indies, and notes denominated this way circulated in markets where sterling remained the practical unit of account.

American Bank Note Company's Ottawa plant handled the printing, one of the earlier major runs from that facility after it opened to serve Canadian chartered banks domestically rather than routing work through New York.
