| Descripción del anverso | Blue-black intaglio print on cream cotton paper. The upper centre vignette presents a seated allegorical female figure of Britannia with a shield and lion, flanked by the numeral '5' at upper left and the denomination panel 'ONE DOLLAR' in a vertical cartouche at right. A secondary vignette at lower left shows a seated artisan at a workbench, while a steam locomotive and tender appear in a vignette at lower centre-right. The promise-to-pay text in copperplate script reads across the centre field, with manuscript signatures for Cashier and President at the bottom. |

| Descripción del reverso | Printed entirely in red-brown on cream cotton paper, the reverse is composed of an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design without pictorial vignettes. Three large interlocking circular rosettes dominate the field, each filled with fine engine-turned geometric patterns, flanked by two smaller rosettes at the outer edges; a horizontal band of dense oval guilloche links the composition across the centre. |

The Central Bank of New Brunswick was a short-lived institution, chartered in 1834 and operating out of Fredericton rather than the commercial hub of Saint John — a choice that kept it perpetually at a disadvantage in trade finance. The dual denomination reflects the transitional monetary reality of mid-nineteenth century British North America, where Halifax currency and the Spanish milled dollar both circulated alongside each other, and issuers had little choice but to accommodate both systems on the same face.
The bank failed in 1865, making surviving notes from any year of issue genuinely uncommon. P#1606 is among the earlier dated examples from the series.
