| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a right-facing portrait vignette of Queen Elizabeth II at centre-right, rendered in fine intaglio engraving over a salmon-toned guilloche underprint. The large numeral '100' appears in the centre flanked by the bilingual inscriptions 'ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS' and 'CENT DOLLARS', with 'CANADA' in bold letterpress across the upper central field. The issuer's name 'BANK OF CANADA – BANQUE DU CANADA' appears in a banner below the central panel, with two facsimile signatures of the Governor and Deputy Governor printed beneath the promise-to-pay clause. |
