| Obverse description | Bilingual note with the bank title BANQUE CANADIENNE NATIONALE across the top in bold letterpress. A central allegorical vignette in intaglio shows a classical female figure with torch and staff, attended by two other figures, representing commerce and prosperity. Oval portrait medallions appear at the left and right margins, each enclosing a bust portrait of a bank official; large green guilloche numeral V underprints flank the central vignette, with the serial number in red printed twice across the upper field and the date Montreal, Feb. 1st 1929 inscribed bilingually above each numeral. |
