| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face is arranged in three vignette zones: at left, a seated allegorical female figure holds a scroll and spear with a shield at her side and an owl amid books at her feet; at right, a corresponding allegorical figure seated with a spear surmounted by a Phrygian cap and the American crest at her feet. The central vignette presents an eagle with outstretched wings grasping the American crest, flanked by a sailing vessel and a civic building, while a bold red letterpress ONE overprint serves as an anti-counterfeiting underprint across the entire face. |

Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson occupied a singular position in mid-nineteenth-century American bank note production, handling work for hundreds of state-chartered institutions before merging into the American Bank Note Company in 1858 — meaning any note bearing their imprint was produced within a narrow and now well-defined window. Farmington Bank was chartered in Connecticut, one of the smaller New England institutions whose notes circulated locally and were routinely discounted at distance, sometimes heavily depending on the bank's perceived solvency at the moment of transaction.
The colour overprint security feature was increasingly standard practice among American printers of this period, added to complicate the work of the era's prolific counterfeiters.
