Obverse description The obverse is printed in blue ink on white cotton paper. At centre top, a large vignette of a suspension bridge over a river with pastoral scenery fills the upper register, flanked by the inscriptions PROVINCE and OF CANADA. To the left is a circular guilloche medallion with the numeral 1, and to the right a seated allegorical female figure with agricultural implements. The bank title THE ZIMMERMAN BANK appears in bold script across the centre, with the promise text WILL PAY ONE DOLLAR and the payable location CLIFTON below, alongside a large green ONE underprint.
