| Beschrijving voorzijde | A finely engraved panoramic vignette of Douglas harbour occupies the upper portion of the note, rendered in detailed intaglio with sailing vessels in the foreground and the town extending across the hillside to the right. The central field carries a large red guilloche underprint with the denomination "ONE" worked through it, overlaid with the promise-to-pay text in copperplate script. Large ornate red numeral "1" counters appear at each upper corner, with the issuer's title in bold letterpress across the middle, and spaces for date, serial number, and the Secretary and Manager signatures at the foot. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Isle of Man Banking Company Limited was incorporated in 1865 and operated as one of the island's principal private note-issuing institutions before eventually being absorbed into Barclays. W. & A. K. Johnston, better known as cartographic and stationery printers in Edinburgh, handled the plate work here — an unusual choice that reflects how small island institutions often contracted whoever could deliver security printing at reasonable cost rather than turning to dedicated banknote houses like Perkins Bacon or Bradbury Wilkinson.
By 1899, Isle of Man private bank notes were already an anachronism by mainland British standards, where private note issue had been effectively extinguished decades earlier under the Bank Charter Act of 1844 — legislation that never extended to the island.
