The issuer's name 'THE UNION BANK' appears in bold decorative script with the promise text 'Promise to pay FIVE dollars on demand' and a manuscript date of Montreal, August 1, 1838. A secondary vignette at lower right shows a standing male figure in a rural setting, above an octagonal panel bearing the word 'FIVE', with the legend 'LOWER CANADA' completing the typographic layout. |

The Union Bank of Montreal was chartered in 1865 — which makes a note dated 1838 attributed to it worth scrutinizing carefully. No Union Bank operated under that name in Montreal in 1838; the institution that later bore that name did not yet exist. The Pick reference P#1983 falls outside standard Pick numbering conventions for chartered Canadian bank issues, which were catalogued separately under Charlton and other regional references.
Treat the issuer attribution and date with caution until provenance can be independently verified against a Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Colonial Currency or equivalent primary source.
