| Reverse description | The reverse carries a central horizontal guilloche vignette in blue-green ink, formed by interlaced latticework with an oval cartouche at its centre enclosing an ornate monogram, flanked by foliate scroll terminals. A large circular inked cancellation stamp reading IN RE BELLAIRS SONS & CO. EXETER is applied over the right portion of the note, indicating the note was formally cancelled, likely in the context of the firm's insolvency proceedings. |
