| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black with a large green guilloche underprint bearing the denomination numeral '20' in the centre. At upper left, a central vignette illustrates a farmer driving a team of horses pulling a plough across a field, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. To the lower right, an oval portrait vignette presents a bearded gentleman in formal attire, identified as the bank's President. The bank name arcs across the top in bold letterpress, with the place of issue 'TORONTO' and date appearing in the central field alongside manuscript-style promise-to-pay text. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green, dominated by an elaborate lathe-work guilloche design composed of three large circular rosette medallions — one at centre and one at each lateral end — interconnected by intricate engine-turned borderwork. The denomination numeral '20' appears in bold within the left and right medallions, while the bank's name 'IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA' arcs in bold letterpress around the central medallion. |
