| Obverse description | Black intaglio-printed note with a central vignette of a busy New Orleans levee scene showing workers, barrels, horse-drawn carts, and palm trees against a smoky industrial backdrop. An oval portrait of George Washington occupies the lower left, while a seated allegorical female figure holding a shield and cornucopia fills the lower right. The large counter-stamped denomination "100" forms a guilloche underprint across the center, flanked by ornate lathe-work numeral panels in each corner, with the bank title "CANAL BANK" in bold script across the middle register and the printer's imprint of Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Edson at the lower center. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in red-orange, the reverse is dominated by a large central oval guilloche medallion bearing the interlocked monogram "C" at its heart, flanked by the denomination numerals "100" on each side. The bank name "CANAL BANK" arcs across the top of the medallion and "NEW-ORLEANS." across the bottom, both set within a decorative banner. The four corners are filled with geometric lathe-work panels and floral ornaments, with circular counter devices in red at each corner, and the printer's imprint appears at the lower right margin. |
| Reverse lettering | CANAL BANK 100 C 100 NEW-ORLEANS. |
