| Obverse description | Allegorical figures of Hibernia stand at left and right margins, each rendered as a classical female figure in intaglio. The centre of the note carries the bank title at top, followed by a promise-to-pay text, the denomination "Twenty Pounds" in large script lettering, the date and place of issue in red, and a panel of five lines listing the Bank of Ireland branch network. The lower portion bears the legend "For the Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland" in copperplate script, flanked by "TWENTY" panels at each lower corner. |

| Reverse description | Reverse is largely plain, with show-through of the obverse design visible through the aged paper stock. Guilloche-style ornamental panels appear at the lower left and lower right corners, and faint red printed elements are discernible at centre, consistent with a minimally printed back typical of early Bank of Ireland issues. |
