| Obverse description | The upper portion of the note bears an architectural vignette of the Commercial Bank of Scotland's Edinburgh head office façade, flanked by further building vignettes at left and right. The face carries the full promise-to-pay legend and the court of directors' authorisation in letterpress, framed within fine guilloche border work typical of Bradbury Wilkinson engraving. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by an elaborate intaglio-engraved guilloche framework of interlocking scrollwork and lathe-work rosettes, at the centre of which sits an oval vignette of a seated allegorical female figure, identified as Britannia, accompanied by a sailing ship and agricultural implements, surrounded by the circular bank seal legend. The four corners carry ornamental scroll cartouches, and the Bradbury Wilkinson imprint appears in the lower margin. |
