| Obverse description | Black intaglio on white cotton paper with ornate guilloche cornerpieces at all four angles. At left, an oval portrait vignette presents a uniformed military officer in three-quarter view; at centre, a large pastoral vignette shows several figures in a rowboat approaching shore, a dog visible at the bow. 'DOMINION OF CANADA' arcs in bold letterpress across the upper field, with 'TWO DOLLARS' inscribed below the central vignette and serial numbers in red at the upper left and right. |

| Reverse description | Printed in olive-brown intaglio, the reverse is structured around an elaborate guilloche framework with large numeral '2' counter medallions at left and right. The central oval vignette portrays two agricultural workers harvesting grain in a field, with farm buildings and trees in the background; 'DOMINION OF CANADA' curves in a banner along the upper arc of the central medallion, and 'TWO DOLLARS' occupies a straight panel at its base. The printer's imprint appears at the lower margin. |
