| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical registers: the left panel carries a circular vignette of a classical allegorical figure, while the right panel bears a corresponding allegorical vignette in the same style. The large central vignette presents an engraved maritime scene with sailing vessels on open water near a rocky coastline, rendered in fine intaglio line work typical of mid-nineteenth-century American banknote engraving. Denomination counters reading '$1,75 Cts' appear in the upper corners and fractional counters '75/100' in the lower corners, with the bank title 'THE FALL RIVER UNION BANK' in bold letterpress across the centre, below which the promise-to-pay text, place of issue 'TIVERTON', date, and manuscript cashier and president signatures appear. |
