| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | 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. |

The Bank of Morgan operated out of Morgan, Georgia, a small county-seat town in Calhoun County. Like most antebellum Southern country banks, it relied on Northern security printers for its engraved plates — Baldwin, Bald & Cousland supplied engraving work to dozens of state-chartered institutions simultaneously, often reusing stock vignettes across multiple clients with only the bank name and location changed.
Georgia's free banking framework in this period was notoriously loose, and a number of small-town banks issued notes well beyond their specie reserves. The Bank of Morgan survived only a few years before the Civil War's disruption of Southern banking effectively rendered all such privately issued currency worthless.
