| Obverse description | The upper portion carries the bank's arms flanked by two allegorical female figures seated on either side, with the serial number printed twice in blue at the top. A central bold panel bears the bank name, below which the promise-to-pay text and denomination ONE POUND are inscribed in script and letterpress. Equestrian statues of mounted figures appear in vignettes at the lower left and lower right corners, with the date and two manuscript signatures of the General Manager and Cashier at foot. |
