A small crowned circular vignette appears at centre left, and the bank name runs vertically in ornate script along the left margin. The promise-to-pay text is rendered in flowing copperplate script, with a bold horizontal underprint band bearing the words 'ONE POUND ONE SHILLING' across the centre, and 'Value Received' in decorative script below, above the issuer attribution 'FOR THE DUMFRIES COMMERCIAL BANK'. |
