| Descripción del anverso | Printed in black ink by intaglio and letterpress on plain paper. At upper centre, a fine engraved vignette shows a seated classical female figure with a royal crown above, set against a pastoral landscape with trees; the denomination ONE GUINEA is printed in large letters flanking the vignette. The issuer name "Bank of Scotland, Edinburgh" appears in ornate script below the vignette, with the promise-to-pay text rendered in copperplate-style lettering across the body of the note; a bold decorative border runs vertically along the left margin incorporating the words "Bank of Scotland" in Gothic script. |

The Bank of Scotland's guinea-denomination notes occupy a narrow historical window. Guinea-based pricing persisted in professional and commercial transactions well into the nineteenth century despite the guinea coin itself having ceased production in 1813, replaced by the sovereign. A banknote denominated in guineas rather than pounds was therefore already something of an anachronism by 1818 — issued to satisfy a specific merchant and professional class that still quoted fees and contracts in guinea terms.
William Home Lizars was primarily known as an engraver and natural history illustrator — his Edinburgh workshop produced plates for scientific publications before and after this commission. The Bank of Scotland relationship was one of his more sustained commercial printing arrangements of the period.
