Descrizione del dritto	The obverse is printed in black on white cotton paper and carries a central vignette of a classical chariot drawn by two lions, surrounded by bilingual text in English and French.

Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse is printed in blue and displays a large central vignette of a standing male figure in a long coat, enclosed within a decorative rectangular cartouche with ornamental headpiece. The field is divided into a grid of alternating plain and lathe-work guilloche panels, with four large circular engine-turned rosettes positioned at each corner. The overall layout is characteristic of early North American security printing, with the blue tint providing a rudimentary anti-counterfeiting measure.
