| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black with a green and light-coloured guilloche underprint. Two oval portrait vignettes are set symmetrically, one at the left and one at the right, each enclosing a bust-length portrait of a male figure rendered in fine intaglio engraving. A large central medallion displays the numeral '5' within an intricate lathe-work design. The issuer's name 'UNION BANK OF CANADA' appears in bold letterpress across the top, with the place of issue 'WINNIPEG' and date 'JULY 1ST 1921' inscribed below; the denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS' is lettered across the lower centre. |
