| Obverse description | Green-tinted note with an intaglio-printed portrait vignette of a young woman in a wide-brimmed hat at the left, set within an ornate lathe-work border. The centre carries the large numeral '50' over a green guilloche rosette, with the bank title 'UNION BANK OF CANADA' arched above and the denomination 'FIFTY DOLLARS' in bold letterpress below. To the right, a scenic landscape vignette of a castle or cliff-top fortification is surrounded by fine engine-turned scrollwork, with the place and date 'Winnipeg, July 1st 1912' inscribed at the top. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate guilloche underprint centred on an oval panel bearing the inscription 'UNION BANK OF CANADA' within a shield-shaped frame flanked by two circular lathe-work rosettes. Corner vignettes carry finely engraved botanical motifs — lilies and other flora — set against dense engine-turned backgrounds. The large counter numeral '50' appears in mirror orientation at upper right, and the printer's imprint runs along the lower margin. |
