Beschrijving voorzijde	The obverse is executed in letterpress and copperplate engraving on laid paper, with an oval vignette at the upper left enclosing a landscape scene with a beaver beside a tree and water, considered among the earliest uses of this emblematic Canadian motif on paper currency. The text, rendered in ornate script, reads 'Canada Bank / We Promise to pay to the Bearer on demand Five Shillings Currency in MONTREAL' followed by a manuscript date of August 1792, and is countersigned 'For the Canada Banking Compy'. The lower portion carries the bilingual denomination 'Pour 5 Chelins' and a manuscript endorsement signature.
