Reverse description Printed in green intaglio, the reverse centres on a large allegorical vignette of a seated female figure — representing Agriculture or Prosperity — enthroned before a classical architectural backdrop and surrounded by harvest motifs, foliage, and cherubic figures. The denomination numeral '1' appears in large ornate panels at each corner, set within intricate guilloche borders. 'BANQUE DU CANADA' arches across the top and 'UN DOLLAR' is inscribed along the lower margin, with the printer's imprint 'CANADIAN BANK NOTE COMPANY, LIMITED' at the very bottom.
