To the left, a classical allegorical vignette presents a reclining female figure beside a harbour scene with sailing vessels, while to the right a seated female figure representing Commerce holds a caduceus and shield, both rendered in fine engraved detail. A central oval guilloche medallion carries the bank's seal, with the promise text 'WILL PAY TWENTY DOLLARS to bearer on demand' inscribed across the mid-field, the date 'Toronto, 1st May, 1912' and paid-up capital statement appearing below the title. |
