| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The obverse is dominated by a central vignette of the Niagara Suspension Bridge rendered in fine intaglio engraving, flanked on each side by large numeral "5" counters within ornate lathe-work circles. To the right, a standing Indigenous figure holding a bow appears as a secondary vignette, while a small steamboat vignette is positioned at the lower centre. The bank title "Niagara Suspension Bridge" appears in bold letterpress across the centre, with handwritten signatures of the Cashier and President at the lower portion of the note. |

| Anmerkungen |
The Niagara Suspension Bridge Bank was a short-lived Upper Canadian chartered bank that never fully operated — its charter was granted but the institution failed to raise sufficient paid-up capital to begin business, and no notes are believed to have entered general circulation. What exists are remainder notes: unissued, unsigned, with blank date and serial number fields.
Queenston, the listed domicile, was a small village on the Niagara River, not a banking center by any measure. The choice almost certainly reflected local political or commercial ambitions rather than any real financial infrastructure.
