| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the same intaglio design elements as the obverse in a mirror image, as was typical of mid-19th-century North American banknote production, with the central Niagara Suspension Bridge vignette, flanking landscape scenes, allegorical seated figure at lower left, and guilloche numeral counters visible in reverse orientation. The large red 'ONE' overprint and issuer name lettering appear inverted, consistent with a show-through impression from the face printing. |
