| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Printed in black ink by intaglio and letterpress, the note carries bold denomination text ONE POUND at upper left and right flanking a central equestrian statue vignette set on a plinth. The bank title THE CITY OF GLASGOW BANK appears in a prominent guilloche-bordered panel across the centre, above a script promise-to-pay text set against a fine repetitive underprint of the words 'One Pound'. At the lower centre, a seated female allegorical figure holding a shield vignette divides the two manuscript signature panels, with the authority legend PURSUANT TO ACT 16 & 17 VICTORIA CAP. 63 across the top margin. |

The City of Glasgow Bank failed catastrophically in October 1878 — one of the worst banking collapses in Scottish history — but this note predates that disaster by over two decades. The bank operated on unlimited liability, meaning its shareholders were personally ruined when the fraud was exposed; many lost everything. Notes from the pre-failure years circulated freely across the west of Scotland, trusted without question.
Maclure & Macdonald were a Glasgow lithographic firm, not a specialist security printer, which occasionally shows in the finer register work on surviving examples.
