| Obverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the design closely parodies a legitimate banknote with elaborate foliate and scrollwork borders. A central oval vignette contains a bust portrait of a man, flanked by the large numeral 1 to the left and guilloche-style ornamental panels to the right bearing the legend JOKE; a circular stamp vignette in the lower right reads BIG JOKE STAGE MONEY. The bank title THE BANK of NEVERPAY is set in bold display lettering across the upper centre, with the denomination ONE DUD along the lower border and a struck-through text line reading THIS CERTIFICATE HAS POSITIVELY NO VALUE above. |
