The Queen was photographed by British photographer Hay Wrighton, and the portrait was engraved by two different engravers — Will Ford of ABN and Harry P. Dawson of BABN, the firm that printed the note. On the back of the note is an allegorical figure representing transportation featuring the Roman mythological figure Mercury, created by BABNC artists.
