| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on green-tinted paper, with an ornate guilloche border framing the entire composition. A central intaglio vignette portrays a classical female allegory seated beside a globe and anchor, rendered in fine line engraving. The denomination FIFTY DOLLARS appears in large bold letters on both the left and right sides, with the issuer's title PROVINCE OF CANADA arched across the upper centre and the payable location MONTREAL inscribed below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green, with a central oval panel bearing the large numeral 50 in bold letterpress type, flanked symmetrically by two elaborate guilloche rosette clusters on either side. An outer cartouche carries the inscription PROVINCE OF CANADA divided between an upper and lower ribbon banner. The overall design is geometric and lathe-work in character, relying entirely on engine-turned ornamental patterns without pictorial vignettes. |
