| Obverse description | A continuous laurel wreath frames the central field, which bears the full legend of issuance. At the top of the field, the word REDEEMABLE arcs prominently, followed by the redemption period JUNE 15, 1933 TO JULY 15, 1933, and below that the issuing authority CITY OF NORTH BEND OREGON in bold block lettering. In the lower portion of the field, the cursive facsimile signatures of the Treasurer I. N. Hartley and Mayor Edgar McDaniel appear with their respective titles engraved beneath each signature. The natural grain of the Oregon Myrtlewood is visible throughout the field, lending a distinctive organic texture to the piece. |
