| Obverse description | Printed in vivid vermillion by the American Bank Note Company, the obverse carries a large allegorical vignette of three female figures at upper left, a central engraved vignette of a steam locomotive pulling a train, and a rounded vignette of a seated female figure at right. Ornate letterpress borders frame the engraved text, with the bank title arched across the upper register and the promise-to-pay obligation at centre. The overall layout is characteristic of antebellum American obsolete banknote production, with fine intaglio engraving contrasting against the vivid underprint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is blank, bearing only faint ghost impressions of the obverse vignettes visible through the paper stock, consistent with the single-sided printing practices common among mid-nineteenth-century American obsolete banknotes. |
