| Obverse description | The obverse is executed in finely detailed intaglio engraving on white paper. A large allegorical vignette at the left margin shows classical figures with a coastal landscape, with rabbits in the foreground, all rendered in the ornate Victorian style typical of Perkins, Bacon work. The upper centre bears the bank title 'DOUGLAS & ISLE OF MAN BANK' surmounted by a royal arms cartouche flanked by a lion and unicorn, with serial numbers printed at upper left and right, and the promise-to-pay text and denomination 'ONE POUND' inscribed in the central panel; an overprint in red reads 'DUMBELL'S BANKING COMPANY LIMITED' vertically at left. |
