| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central allegorical vignette of Ceres holding grain, flanked by denomination panels reading TEN at left and right, with a red letterpress underprint panel positioned below the central vignette as a counterfeiting deterrent. The Georgia state coat of arms appears at lower center, above manuscript signature lines for the Comptroller General and Treasurer, with a black-stamped Treasury seal applied to the face of the note. The full text block, printed by Douglas Engraver of New Orleans, sets out the redemption conditions and payable terms in period typographic style, with the date line reading Milledgeville, GA, January 15th, 1862. |
