| Obverse description | Printed in black on a polychrome underprint using intaglio (taille-douce) and lithographic techniques, the obverse centres on an allegorical female figure seated in classical dress, set within an elaborate guilloche framework. Denomination numerals and the issuing authority legend appear in the surrounding panels, with the printer's imprint of American Bank Note Co., New York at the lower margin. The overall layout is characteristic of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American Bank Note Company engraving, with fine lathe-work borders framing the central vignette. |
