Obverse description	The obverse of this early colonial issued note is a plain letterpress-printed note on aged paper, with printed text lines carrying the denomination and promise-to-pay obligation of the colony. The layout follows a traditional promissory note format typical of early 19th-century British colonial currency, with manuscript annotations and handwritten signatures completing the instrument.

Reverse description	The reverse presents a largely unprinted expanse of aged cream paper, with bleed-through text visible from the obverse. A small but intricately rendered brown guilloche ornament appears in the lower left corner, and a handwritten notation reading '1 Joe 1830' is inscribed in the centre-left area, with additional manuscript numerals visible in the upper left.
