| 正面描述 | Black intaglio on blue underprint. The upper right portion carries a panoramic engraved vignette of the city of Aberdeen with a river and bridge in the foreground. The left margin is divided into three panels: two intricate lathe-work guilloche rosettes at top and bottom, and a central engraved vignette of the bank's principal office building. The denomination word ONE is rendered in large blue letterpress numerals at centre, overlaid with the promise-to-pay text. Side borders carry vertical inscriptions noting incorporation and registration dates, with the legend ESTABLISHED 1825 along the lower border. The date Aberdeen 1st March 1894 and signature lines for Pro Manager and Pro Secretary appear in the lower centre, with a SPECIMEN overprint diagonally applied. |

Town and County Bank Limited was a Scottish provincial bank headquartered in Aberdeen, and its notes circulated primarily across the northeast of Scotland. Perkins, Bacon & Co. were responsible for the plates — the same London firm whose steel engraving work dominated colonial and dominion currency production throughout the Victorian period, and whose hardened-steel intaglio technique produced notes resistant to the period's more common counterfeiting methods.
Scottish chartered banks retained the right to issue their own notes long after English provincial banks lost that privilege, which is why a relatively modest regional institution could still be commissioning its own pound notes in 1894. Town and County was absorbed into the Union Bank of Scotland in 1907.
