| Reverse description | Intaglio-printed in green, the reverse centres on a detailed architectural vignette of the Bank of Montreal's neoclassical head office on Saint-Jacques Street, its columned portico rendered with fine line engraving and street-level figures including a horse-drawn carriage and a tram. Large guilloche-bordered numeral '5' ovals anchor both the left and right fields, with 'BANK OF MONTREAL' arching across the top and 'Five Dollars' in serif script at the foot of the central vignette. |
