| Obverse description | The obverse bears the bold bank title 'PROVINCIAL BANK OF CANADA' across the upper register, with large numeral '5' cartouches at both left and right margins. A central vignette presents a portrait medallion of a gentleman in 18th-century dress, flanked by allegorical figures in an agricultural scene to the left. The denomination is reinforced by a large red 'FIVE' underprint across the note body, with the branch name 'STANSTEAD' and the equivalent sterling value 'ONE POUND FIVE' inscribed in the lower centre area. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is largely plain, printed on aged cotton paper with two large red 'V' numerals arranged symmetrically across the face, serving as a simple denomination underprint. No pictorial vignette or additional text panel is present, consistent with mid-19th-century Canadian chartered bank practice. |
