| Obverse description | Black intaglio on white cotton paper with the bank title 'THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA' in bold letterpress across the top; a central vignette combines a steam locomotive with an agricultural harvest scene to the right, all enclosed within an elaborate guilloche border. Large numeral '20' counter medallions flank the vignette at left and right, with red serial numbers at upper left and upper right. The place and date 'MONTREAL, JAN. 2ND 1913' appear at lower left and right respectively, with two manuscript officer signatures across the lower portion and the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. Ottawa' at the foot. |

Large numeral '20' medallions are placed at left and right within lozenge-pattern underprint panels, and the bank title 'THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA' runs along the top within a decorative border band. |
