| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | The note is printed entirely in black on white paper in the classic Bank of England 'White Note' style, with a Britannia vignette in the upper-left corner. The promise of payment text is set in copperplate letterpress script across the body of the note, accompanied by the denomination 'Thirty Pounds' in bold calligraphic lettering. The Bank of England cypher and a decorative scrollwork border frame the central text, with the place of issue and authorising clause for the Governor and Company of the Bank of England completing the design. |

| Anmerkungen |
The £30 denomination was among the most awkward in the Bank of England's uncut white note series — issued in amounts that reflected commercial convenience rather than any logical denomination structure. The Bank printed notes in a wide scatter of non-round values throughout this period to accommodate specific mercantile and clearing transactions, and £30 sat at the lower edge of what counted as a substantial sum for wholesale trade.
Forgery was a serious problem for white notes of this era. The Bank prosecuted hundreds of cases between 1797 and 1821, and some estimates suggest one in ten notes in circulation during the Restriction Period was counterfeit. A £30 note was valuable enough to make skilled forgery worthwhile.
The cashier's signature was applied by hand throughout the series run.
