| Reverse description | Printed entirely in orange-brown intaglio, the reverse is dominated by the central vignette of the Canadian Bank of Commerce armorial seal — a sailing ship within a circular legend — flanked by two standing allegorical figures, one holding a caduceus and one holding a sheaf of wheat, with cornucopiae and agricultural implements in the lower corners. The denomination numeral 20 appears in large format at both left and right, with the word TWENTY inscribed beneath the central seal. |
