| 表面の説明 | The obverse is dominated by a central intaglio vignette of a classical female figure seated beside an anchor and a globe, pouring water from a vessel, rendered in fine line engraving against a golden guilloche underprint. The bank title 'THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE' arcs across the upper portion in bold letterpress, flanked by two ornate lathe-work medallions bearing the numeral '50' in each corner. Below the vignette, the place and date of issue appear alongside the printed promise 'WILL PAY FIFTY DOLLARS TO BEARER ON DEMAND,' with two red serial number fields and a facsimile President's signature at the lower left. |

The Canadian Bank of Commerce was one of the dominant chartered banks operating under the Bank Act of 1871, which permitted private institutions to issue their own currency — a system that persisted until the Bank of Canada's founding in 1934. At the $50 level, notes like this one functioned almost exclusively in commercial and interbank settlement; ordinary retail transactions simply didn't require them, which kept actual street circulation low.
The American Bank Note Company's New York facilities handled engraving and printing for numerous Canadian chartered banks during this period, a practical arrangement given the superior intaglio infrastructure south of the border. ABNC's work on Canadian chartered issues is generally consistent in quality, with the deep ink impression typical of their commercial commissions.
Survivor population at this denomination is thin — the combination of high face value and the 1944–1950 redemption deadlines under federal winding-up legislation eliminated most examples before collectors took serious notice.
