| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in a bilingual format with the bank title 'BANQUE D'HOCHELAGA' in bold letterpress across the upper register, flanked by oval intaglio portrait vignettes of two male figures — one at each lateral margin. The central panel carries a large guilloche '100' numeral with two flanking counters inscribed 'ONE HUNDRED CENT', above the promise text 'WILL PAY TO BEARER ON DEMAND' in English and 'PAIERA AU PORTEUR À DEMANDE' in French. The lower margin bears the full bilingual denomination legend 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS CENT' with the date 'MONTREAL, JAN. 2ND 1920' rendered in both English and French. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark blue-black intaglio on a finely engraved guilloche ground, with a large central oval vignette containing the heraldic arms of Canada — a shield bearing the provincial coats of arms surmounted by a crowned lion and supported by ornate scrollwork. Twin '100' counters in bold numerals appear to the left and right of the central vignette within elaborate lathe-work ovals. The bank name 'BANQUE D'HOCHELAGA' is inscribed in bold letters across the lower margin, with denomination numerals repeated in all four corners. |
