The inscription 'TORONTO BRANCH' appears below the building. Flanking the central vignette are large guilloche-bordered '50' numerals at left and right, with elaborate lathe-work borders framing the entire composition. 'BANK OF MONTREAL' arches across the top, and 'Fifty Dollars' is inscribed in script along the lower margin. |
