| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed entirely in blue. The design is dominated by a large central oval vignette of a coastal castle with sailing vessels in the foreground, set within an ornate cartouche with scrollwork flankers. Two smaller circular vignettes, each enclosed in rococo frames, appear to the left and right of the central scene. The denomination ONE POUND is lettered in large bold capitals across the top of the field, and BANK OF MONA in matching bold capitals occupies the lower portion; a guilloche-pattern border frames the entire composition, with the imprint BRANCH OF THE CITY OF GLASGOW BANK along the bottom edge. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Bank of Mona was a short-lived Isle of Man institution, chartered to serve a small island economy that already had an overcrowded field of note-issuing banks by the mid-nineteenth century. It did not survive long enough to establish meaningful circulation, and notes from this issuer are genuinely rare survivors — not because of systematic destruction, but simply because so few were ever put into use.
Gilmour & Dean were a Glasgow commercial printing firm, competent but not among the specialist banknote engravers of the period. Their involvement here is typical of smaller provincial issuers who lacked the budget or prestige to commission Perkins Bacon or similar security printers.
