| Obverse lettering | TREASURY NOTE Series of 1890 The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Will pay to Bearer ONE DOLLAR in coin. Washington, D.C. Legal Tender Act July 14 1890 |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green with an elaborate intaglio design centered on the large block letters "ONE" rendered in open outline against a dense lathe-work guilloche background of interlocking geometric and floral rosette patterns. A large numeral "1" within a complex oval guilloche medallion anchors the left side, while an ornate cartouche on the right carries the legal tender clause in small letterpress text. Corner devices bearing "ONE" and "DOLLAR" in oval frames, and a bottom border of floret rosettes flanking the Treasury seal cypher, complete the composition. |
