| Obverse description | The obverse is engraved in a fine intaglio style with the bank title 'THE BANK OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA' across the top border and 'INCORPORATED BY ROYAL CHARTER' along the bottom. The left vignette presents the New Brunswick provincial coat of arms with two flanking figures, while the central vignette depicts a fully rigged sailing ship at sea, flanked on each side by two circular lathe-work medallions bearing the numeral '5'. A standing female figure in classical dress occupies the right vignette, with a landscape vignette of a coastal scene beside her. The body text states the promise to pay in script lettering, with manuscript entries for number, account, and manager's signature. |
