To the right, an architectural vignette of a multi-storey building is engraved in fine detail.

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque Jacques Cartier was a Montreal institution that ran into serious trouble in 1899, when a run on the bank forced its closure — one of the more dramatic failures in late Victorian Canadian banking. Notes from the 1880s issues predate that collapse by over a decade, meaning they circulated through a period of apparent stability before the bank's management problems became public.
The American Bank Note Company's New York plant produced the series, as it did for a significant portion of Canadian chartered bank currency in this period. ABNC held near-monopoly status on quality commercial currency engraving in North America through the 1880s and 1890s.
