| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on white cotton paper and displays a central vignette of a rocky landscape with figures, flanked on the left by the dual denominations '4' and 'ONE POUND / FOUR DOLLARS' in ornate counters, and on the right by a matching counter reading 'FOUR DOLLARS' with a large numeral '4'. The bank title 'THE GORE BANK' is set in bold letterpress across the centre, above the promise text and the equivalent value 'TWENTY SHILLINGS', with a manuscript date and place of issue reading 'Hamilton, U.C.' visible below. Two manuscript signatures of bank officers appear at the foot of the note, alongside a printed serial number. |
