| Obverse description | The central field carries the bank title and promise-to-pay text in intaglio engraving, flanked by an upper-center allegorical vignette of Commerce gazing seaward, a lower-left pastoral vignette of a seated woman with a cow and a church in the background, and a lower-right vignette of a blacksmith at his forge. The note is dated Milledgeville, Georgia, May 1, 1854, and bears the legal notice that stockholders are personally liable, a provision standard to antebellum Georgia state-chartered banks. The imprint of Toppan, Carpenter, Casilear & Co., New York appears in the lower margin. |
