| Reverse description | Printed entirely in green, the reverse is dominated by three large lathe-work guilloche rosettes arranged horizontally, each enclosing the numeral '20' in bold figures. The central rosette is larger and bears the circular inscription 'PROVINCE OF CANADA' within its intricate geometric border. Elaborate engine-turned floral and scroll ornaments fill the spaces between and around the rosettes, creating a densely patterned security design. |
