| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed note in black and grey with a red guilloche underprint at centre. At left, a seated male figure interpreted as Neptune or a river god rests against a trident, while at right a group of allegorical female figures — possibly mermaids or sea nymphs — and a standing male figure with a caduceus fill the vignette in finely engraved detail. The denomination "20" appears in large red numerals at lower centre over the red underprint, flanked by "XX" counters in the lower corners, with two red serial numbers printed horizontally across the underprint field. Two facsimile signatures of the President and General Manager are printed at bottom centre. |

| Reverse description | Printed in blue intaglio throughout, the reverse is dominated by a central circular bank seal bearing a sailing vessel and the inscription "CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE EST. 1867", surmounted by a crowned coat of arms. Mercury, shown at left holding a caduceus, and a female allegorical figure of Plenty at right, each carrying a sheaf of wheat, jointly support the seal as flanking supporters. Large ornate "20" numerals occupy the left and right fields, and a rectangular cartouche at the bottom centre bears the word "TWENTY". The border is composed of intricate lathe-work and foliate guilloche ornament. |
