To the lower left, an oval vignette presents a classical female allegorical figure in laurel wreath; to the lower right, a standing female allegory is rendered in fine engraving. The denomination 'Five Dollars' appears in ornate script at centre, with 'TORONTO' and the manuscript date below, accompanied by printed signatures for the pro General Manager and President, and the notation 'CAPITAL $5,000,000' at foot. |

| Rückseitenbeschreibung | Printed entirely in orange-red intaglio, the reverse is centred on a large circular medallion bearing a left-facing portrait bust, likely allegorical or royal in character, encircled by the legend 'BANK OF TORONTO'. Two ornate lathe-work rosettes bearing the numeral '5' flank the central medallion on either side, set within a symmetrical engine-turned guilloche frame. The overall design is executed in a single colour with fine geometric latticework forming the border. |

The Bank of Toronto was founded in 1855 to serve the grain and flour trade around Lake Ontario, and its notes circulated heavily through agricultural districts where American currency was a persistent competitor. The American Bank Note Company's New York engraving plant produced the plates for this series — ABNC handled the majority of Canadian chartered bank work through this period, which accounts for the strong stylistic consistency across issuers that can frustrate attribution at a glance.
The Bank of Toronto merged with the Dominion Bank in 1955 to form Toronto-Dominion Bank, making all its chartered notes redeemable in perpetuity under the surviving institution — an unusual situation in which a note technically remains a valid claim against a still-operating successor.
