| Obverse description | A detailed intaglio vignette of St. Sampson harbour occupies the upper centre, with sailing vessels moored along the quayside and a fort visible on the horizon, rendered in fine engraved linework. The issuer title 'The States of Guernsey' appears in ornate script across the upper portion, flanked by guilloche rosettes bearing the denomination 'ONE' in each corner. The promise-to-pay text and denomination 'ONE POUND' are set within a guilloche panel at centre, with a red underprint and the Treasurer's manuscript signature below, alongside the date and 'BY AUTHORITY OF THE STATES'. |
