| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black intaglio on a light background, centred on a classical allegorical vignette of a seated female figure — likely Britannia or Commerce — holding a caduceus and resting beside a globe, rendered in fine line engraving. Numeral panels reading 'FIVE' appear in ornate guilloche ovals at left and right, with the denomination digit '5' at each corner. The issuer's name 'BARCLAYS BANK (CANADA)' runs across the top, with the date 'Jany. 2nd 1935.' at lower right and the place of issue 'Montreal,' at lower left, above two manuscript signatures. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark teal-green intaglio, centred on a detailed architectural vignette of the Barclays Bank (Canada) branch building, a multi-storey neoclassical structure with figures in the foreground. Flanking the central vignette are two large ornate guilloche rosettes each incorporating the numeral '5', set within an elaborate engine-turned geometric border. The issuer's name 'BARCLAYS BANK (CANADA)' appears at the top, and the denomination legend '5 - FIVE DOLLARS - 5' runs along the lower margin. |
