| Obverse description | Horizontal format note with four corner oval guilloche medallions each bearing the numeral "3", framing a central intaglio vignette of an allegorical female figure standing alongside a sailing vessel. The upper arc carries the inscription "PAYABLE AT THE BANK OF CANADA IN MONTREAL", with the body text stating the promise to pay Three Dollars on demand from the Joint Funds of the Association under the legend "BANK OF UPPER CANADA". A vertical letterpress legend "THREE DOLLARS" runs along the left margin, and manuscript cashier and president signatures with a handwritten date and series letter appear at the lower edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is unprinted, consistent with early nineteenth-century Canadian colonial banknote practice, with the cotton paper stock showing faint ghost impressions of the obverse intaglio and guilloche elements bleeding through, including the two oval corner medallions visible at left and right. |
