| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black with an elaborate guilloche underprint. A central intaglio vignette portrays a harvest scene with horse-drawn farm machinery in a prairie landscape, framed by ornate scroll-work borders. The bank title 'THE UNION BANK OF CANADA' arches across the upper portion above the promise clause, with the denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS' inscribed at the lower centre and the place and date of issue 'QUEBEC, 1st JUNE 1907' below; large numeral '5' counters appear in each corner. |

The central frame contains allegorical figures — a navigator and an armoured warrior — standing to either side of the Canadian coat of arms. The bank name 'UNION BANK OF CANADA' is lettered across the lower margin, with the word 'FIVE' appearing at top and bottom. |
