Reverse description	Printed entirely in deep navy blue, the reverse is dominated by a central allegorical vignette of a classical male figure — representing Commerce or Industry — seated amid industrial and natural landscape elements including a hydroelectric dam and waterway. Intricate guilloche work fills the side panels, each bearing a large numeral 5. The bilingual bank title BANK OF CANADA / BANQUE DU CANADA runs across the top, with FIVE DOLLARS and CINQ DOLLARS at the foot.
