| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and consists entirely of an elaborate lathe-work guilloche pattern composed of multiple large interlocking circular rosettes of varying sizes, with the text 'COMMERCIAL BANK' inscribed horizontally across the central band of the design. Smaller circular guilloche elements border the composition along all edges, creating a dense, symmetrical geometric underprint typical of mid-19th century North American banknote security printing. |
