The bank title THE NATAL BANK LIMITED is inscribed in bold letterpress across the centre, beneath which the promise-to-pay text reads in script, with TEN POUNDS in a highlighted panel and the place and date HARRISMITH, ORANGE RIVER COLONY, 1ST OCTOBER 1903 below. Numeral 10 counters appear at the upper corners, with ornate foliate borders framing the composition, and the printer's imprint of Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. appears at the foot. |
