| Obverse description | The upper portion carries a bold arched title vignette reading BANK OF COLUMBUS flanked by STATE OF GEORGIA, with ornate counters bearing TWO at upper left and a numeral 2 at upper right, both in intricate lathe-work surrounds. The central lower vignette presents an intaglio-engraved riverside panorama with a side-wheel steamboat navigating the river in the foreground, an arched bridge at right, and industrial buildings with smoking chimneys along the wooded far bank. Handwritten date, cashier, and president signatures appear across the face, with gold silk security fibers forming the numeral 2 visible at left and right margins. |
