| Obverse description | The obverse is engraved in the typical antebellum American obsolete banknote style, with a large left-side vignette of a seated allegorical female figure holding sheaves of grain, a rural landscape with a steam train on a viaduct visible behind her. A central circular vignette presents a standing bull, above which the STATE OF GEORGIA arc inscription appears, while an octagonal ONE counter occupies the upper right. The lower right carries an intaglio portrait of George Washington in three-quarter view, and a lathe-work guilloche panel at lower left bears the word ONE; the bank title BANK OF MORGAN and denomination ONE DOLLAR are printed in bold letterpress across the centre, with an overprint in red across the lower half. |

| Obverse lettering | No. STATE OF GEORGIA The BANK OF MORGAN Will pay ONE DOLLAR to Bearer on demand MORGAN May 1 1857 |
| Reverse description | The reverse is essentially plain, with only a red letterpress overprint reading ONE visible at the lower centre against an otherwise blank, aged paper surface with no additional vignettes or guilloche work. |
