The denomination numeral "1" appears in an elaborate guilloche roundel at upper right, with "One" in script lettering within a further guilloche panel at lower left. The promise-to-pay legend and issuer title are rendered in italic script across the centre, with the serial number printed in red at upper right and lower left. |
