At centre, a detailed vignette of a large Victorian Gothic stone building, flanked on the left by a bold bull's head vignette and on the right by a pastoral rural scene of cattle being driven by a ploughman. The bank's title, THE BANK OF TORONTO, arcs across the upper centre, with DOMINION OF CANADA below it and CAPITAL $5,000,000 along the top margin. Large guilloche-framed denomination numerals 50 appear at both upper corners, with FIFTY DOLLARS in bold letterpress along the lower centre, and the note bears manuscript date, place, promise-to-pay text, and two manuscript signatures across the lower field. |
