| Obverse description | The obverse presents a central vignette of a large wooden sailing ship under construction in a shipyard, with workers and scaffolding visible, set against a light sky. To the left stands a full-length figure of a naval officer or mariner in uniform, while a portrait of Queen Victoria in profile occupies the right medallion. The bank title THE WESTMORLAND BANK OF NEW BRUNSWICK arcs across the centre in bold letterpress, with ONE DOLLAR rendered in large intaglio text over a green guilloche underprint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by three large interlocking lathe-work rosette medallions arranged horizontally across the entire face of the note, each composed of concentric rings of fine engine-turned guilloche patterns with a central geometric motif. The medallions are linked by delicate scrollwork and floral ornamental borders, all printed in blue-green ink on plain paper. The overall design is a purely mechanical security underprint with no figurative imagery or lettering. |
