| Obverse description | Engraved note with a central portrait vignette of Queen Alexandra in formal attire, wearing a tiara and pearl necklace, set against an elaborate guilloche underprint in pale pink and green. The bank title arcs across the top in bold serif lettering, with the denomination numeral 50 repeated in the four corners amid ornate foliate scroll work; a classical allegorical female figure holding a staff and orb occupies the lower right. The place and date of issue, TORONTO and 2nd January 1907, appear in the lower centre field, with facsimile signature lines for the Pro. Gen. Manager and President below the promise text. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green intaglio on plain paper, the reverse carries a central vignette of a classical allegorical figure — a robed woman holding a globe and a palm frond — standing on a quayside with bales of goods and a tall-masted sailing vessel in the background, evoking commerce and trade. The denomination numeral 50 appears in each corner within intricate guilloche panels, with the word FIFTY in ornamental lettering on the left and right borders. The bank name IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA is split across the top and bottom arcs framing the central vignette. |
