Obverse description	Black intaglio print on cream paper, with the bank title in ornate Gothic script across the upper centre and a finely engraved vignette of the city of Neuchâtel above it. Two oval side vignettes framed in foliate guilloche borders depict rural genre scenes — a vintner with barrels at left and a figure at a doorway at right — while corner cartouches carry the denomination numerals and the word FRANCS. The central text states the payable-to-bearer obligation, the date 30 April 1856, and the place of issue, with three manuscript signatures below for the Contrôleur, the Caissier, and the Directeur, accompanied by an embossed circular bank seal.
