| Obverse description | Intaglio-printed face with a central allegorical vignette of three classical female figures in a pastoral landscape, an eagle hovering above, set against a fine lathe-work guilloche ground; large ornate numeral "1" counters occupy the upper left and right corners within engine-turned ovals, while a circular medallion at lower left incorporates the Michigan state seal inscribed "INCORPORATED 1835" with a seated female figure holding scales, and a secondary rural vignette at lower right shows two figures conversing in a field. The bank title "THE BANK OF WASHTENAW" runs in bold letterpress across the centre, with the denomination "ONE DOLLAR" inset in a dark panel below. The promise-to-pay text, place of issue Ann Arbor, and the printer's imprint of Danforth, Wright & Co. complete the lower margin. |
