| Obverse description | The obverse is arranged in a horizontal letterpress format with the issuing authority "THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA" across the upper register and the denomination "TWO DOLLARS" repeated in both upright and inverted orientations along the lateral borders, creating a distinctive mirror-text security effect. A central vignette occupies the middle field, flanked by large ornate numeral counters — a bold "2" at upper right and a second "2" set within a decorative circular frame at lower left. The redemption clause, place, and date of issue (Raleigh, Oct. 6th, 1861) are inscribed across the face, with the printer's imprint of F. W. Bornemann, Charleston, S.C. along the lower margin. |
