Obverse description	The face of this early American obsolete note is printed with intricate geometric lathe-work patterns and repeated microlettering across the field, elements characteristic of early 19th-century bank note engraving intended as anti-counterfeiting measures. The central text block carries the bank's promise-to-pay obligation, flanked by denomination numerals at each corner. The overall layout follows the typeset-and-engraved format common to New England state-chartered banks of the 1820s.
