At centre, the denomination numeral '1' is set within an elaborate medallion inscribed 'MILLIÁRD', flanked by baroque scrollwork and floral ornaments, with the issuer name 'MAGYAR NEMZETI BANK' and date 'BUDAPEST, 1946. ÉVI MÁRCIUS HÓ 18-ÁN' printed in bold letterpress. Three facsimile signatures appear below the bank name, identified by the role titles FŐTANÁCSOS, ELNÖK, and VEZÉRIGAZGATÓ. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central cartouche with scalloped guilloche border enclosing the denomination inscription in bold serif lettering, set against a finely engine-turned background in plum and salmon-pink tones. Circular numeral medallions inscribed '1 MILLIÁRD' are placed at left and right, each surrounded by intricate lace-like guilloche work. Acanthus scrolls and floral vignettes occupy the corners, and the serial number is printed in red at the lower margin. |
