Obverse description	The obverse is engraved in a fine intaglio style typical of early Canadian private bank issues, with the bold numeral '4' at each of the four corners and the word 'FOUR' in the lower lateral panels. A central vignette presents an allegorical rural scene with a standing female figure flanked by cherubs and foliage, while smaller side vignettes depict a farmer at left and a camel with figures at right. The upper arc bears the inscription 'AGRICULTURAL BANK' with 'UPPER CANADA' flanking, and the body text reads 'We Promise to pay TWENTY Shillings Currency to bearer on demand for value received' with the place and date of issue, Toronto, 12 Nov. 1835.
