| Obverse description | Printed in brown on plain paper, the note carries a central letterpress vignette of the Alleghany Furnace industrial complex, showing mill buildings, a blast furnace stack, a waterwheel, and a steam locomotive with cars on a foreground railway, set against a wooded hillside. A ornate guilloche-bordered panel at the left reads 'TWENTY-FIVE CENTS' vertically, while the right panel bears the numeral '25' repeated twice within a decorative floral frame. The issuer's name in bold script and the promise to pay in Dry Goods & Groceries are set in letterpress below the vignette, with the date 'Jan. 1st, 1856' in cursive at upper right. |
