| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed on salmon-toned paper in black letterpress, the obverse is framed by a double-ruled border. The title "RAMGARH RAJ" appears in bold Latin capitals across the top, with the Devanagari legend running vertically along the left border and an Urdu inscription running vertically along the right border. At centre, the state coat of arms is rendered as a heraldic vignette: an oval shield bearing a set of scales, supported by two rampant lions, surmounted by crossed swords and a staff with pennant. The denomination "ONE ANNA" is set in bold capitals along the lower margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, printed on matching salmon paper in black letterpress, carries a central scallop-edged circular vignette imitating a coin impression.

Multilingual legends in Devanagari and further Indic scripts surround the inner field within the scalloped border. A bold serial number is printed below the vignette in the lower half of the note. |

Ramgarh Raj was a zamindari estate in Bihar, and like several princely and semi-autonomous territories during the Second World War, it resorted to issuing its own fractional cash coupons when small-denomination coinage effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply absorbed by wartime demand. The 1 Anna denomination placed this squarely in the everyday transaction range where the shortage bit hardest.
A serial number as the sole security feature was typical of these improvised local issues, which were never intended to circulate beyond the estate's own tenants and markets.
