| Beschrijving voorzijde | Dark olive and black intaglio on a cream ground, framed by a repeated guilloche border incorporating the numeral 20 and the word TWENTY on all sides; the bank title in ornate Gothic script occupies the upper centre, below which the promise to pay is set in letterpress. Two engraved portrait vignettes flank the central field — a forward-facing bust at left and a right-facing bust at right — with the underprint carrying a large green XX medallion overlaid by the bank's armorial vignette of two allegorical figures supporting a shield, set above a dark denomination cartouche. The date MONTREAL, 3RD JAN. 1938 appears beneath the central vignette, flanked by two manuscript signatures above the printed designations GENERAL MANAGER and PRESIDENT. |

The Bank of Montreal's 1938 dominion-era notes were printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company at a moment when Canadian chartered bank currency was already living on borrowed time. The Bank of Canada Act of 1934 had established the central bank, and the 1944 amendments to the Bank Act would formally end the chartered banks' right to issue notes — giving institutions like the Bank of Montreal only a narrow window to redeem outstanding obligations before the privilege was extinguished entirely.
S.G. Spinney served as the Bank's Cashier and C.B. Gordon as President, a pairing that places this note firmly in the final active chapter of private Canadian note issuance.
