| Obverse description | Printed in olive-green on white cotton paper, the obverse presents a large central allegorical vignette in intaglio engraving of a classical female figure seated on a globe and flanked by two attendant figures, set against a landscape background with intricate guilloche underprint. The bank title BANK OF HAMILTON appears in bold letterpress across the upper portion, with DOMINION OF CANADA above it and the denomination ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ON DEMAND rendered within an ornate lathe-work panel to the right. Vertical panel lettering borders both sides of the note, and the word SPECIMEN is overprinted in red across the lower signature area. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a rich olive-green tone and centers on an elaborate guilloche rosette medallion with a stylized floral motif at its heart, flanked symmetrically on each side by large numeral 100 counters set within intricately patterned lathe-work panels. The inscriptions BANK OF HAMILTON and DOMINION OF CANADA appear across the upper register in bold letterpress, with ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS rendered in a decorative banner below the central medallion. The overall layout is highly geometric, with fine engine-turned patterns filling the background throughout. |
