JOHN'S, ANTIGUA' is applied to this Specimen example. The date 'JAN. 2ND 1913' and place of issue 'MONTREAL' appear in the lower body of the note. |

'THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA' runs across the top, while 'FIVE' and 'FIVES' inscriptions appear along the lower border, the whole composition executed in intaglio engraving. |
