| Obverse description | Black intaglio-printed note on cream paper, engraved by Toppan, Carpenter & Co. of Philadelphia and New York. The central vignette presents a group of four allegorical female figures arranged around a large ornate numeral '5', with a sailing ship visible in the right background; flanking the central design are two oval portrait medallions — George Washington at left and an unidentified male dignitary at right — each set within elaborate scrollwork frames. The denomination '5' appears in all four corners within guilloche rosettes, with the bank title 'CANAL BANK' in bold display lettering across the upper centre and 'NEW ORLEANS' in a ribbon panel along the lower centre, with cursive text forming the promise-to-pay legend distributed across the note face. |
