| Obverse description | The obverse is arranged in three vignette panels in the typical antebellum American obsolete banknote style: at left, a portrait bust of George Washington; at center, an allegorical agricultural vignette of a seated female figure with two cattle, a sickle, and sheaves of wheat; and at right, a second seated female allegorical figure. The denomination numeral '1' appears at the upper corners, and the note carries the bank title and promise-to-pay text in letterpress. |
