| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents a horizontally oriented note with an elaborately engraved border of guilloche work framing the entire composition. To the left, a vertical panel contains two circular vignettes — the upper showing a mounted figure and the lower bearing the Bank of Scotland armorial shield with saltire and the motto 'TANTO UBERIOR' — flanking a central thistle device. The main field carries the bold letterpress legend 'BANK OF SCOTLAND' beneath a central allegorical vignette of classical figures, with the promise text 'THE GOVERNOR & COMPANY OF THE BANK OF SCOTLAND PROMISE TO PAY HERE TO THE BEARER ON DEMAND TEN POUNDS STERLING' in intaglio, the date 'EDINBURGH 8 MAY 1872' at upper right, manuscript serial number, and the closing line 'CONSTITUTED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT 1695' at the base. |

Bank of Scotland's £10 notes of this period occupied a curious position: legally, Scottish banknotes were never legal tender in the strict English sense, but they circulated freely by convention and mutual acceptance. The Bank of Scotland had been issuing its own notes since 1695, and by the 1870s its paper was trusted enough that few bothered to question the distinction.
Cotton paper was standard for Scottish issuers of this era, but survivability was poor — these high-value notes passed through relatively few hands before being retired, and the ledger-recording practices at Scottish branches meant most were cancelled with heavy ink or punch holes upon return. Uncancelled examples from this decade are genuinely uncommon.
