| Obverse description | Printed in black on white paper, the obverse is centred on a large vignette of a sailing vessel under full sail on a rough sea, with ornate lathe-work ovals bearing the numeral '10' at upper left and right. A vignette of a standing male figure — likely a farmer or labourer — occupies the lower left, while a domed building with floral ornament appears at lower right. The issuer's name 'BANK OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND' and denomination 'Ten Dollars' are rendered in bold letterpress across the central field, with the promise-to-pay text, date 'Jan. 2, 1872,' serial number, and manuscript signatures of the Cashier and President at the lower margin. |
