| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in orange-red, dominated by a large central oval cartouche enclosing a heraldic shield bearing the arms of Canada's provinces, surmounted by a crown, surrounded by intricate lathe-work guilloche. Flanking the central medallion are symmetrical vignettes of sailing vessels within elaborate geometric engine-turned panels, with the word TWENTY arched above and VINGT below the central device. The imprint of the Canada Bank Note Company appears at the foot of the design. |
