| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on a light pink-orange underprint. A large central-left vignette presents a steam locomotive pulling passenger cars in a landscape setting, enclosed within an oval frame. To the right, a portrait vignette of a bearded gentleman in formal attire, identified as President, is set within a ruled panel. The date 'Hamilton, 1st June, 1892' appears in script above the central text panel, with the denomination spelled out as 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' in bold serif lettering. Counter numerals '100' appear at upper right and lower left, with 'DOMINION OF CANADA' inscribed vertically along the left border. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in orange-red, the reverse is composed of an elaborate guilloche pattern forming a large decorative border of interlocking rosettes and star elements. Two circular counter medallions bearing '100' are positioned at left and right, flanking a central cartouche with bold serif lettering reading 'BANK OF HAMILTON'. The overall design is executed in a tight lathe-work engine-turned style consistent with late 19th-century security printing. |
