| Obverse description | Signed by Provincial Treasurer C.

| Reverse description | The reverse consists entirely of a dated stamp grid spanning from September 1936 through August 1938, arranged in weekly intervals across multiple rows. Four green Alberta 1-Cent stamp affixing spaces appear in the upper left corner, as the certificate required a 1-cent stamp to be affixed each week to maintain its validity — a defining feature of the Social Credit stamp-scrip mechanism. Each dated cell corresponds to a specific week during the certificate's two-year circulation period. |
