| Beschrijving voorzijde | A detailed engraving of a coconut palm tree standing on a rocky shoreline occupies the left and center of the field, with a calm ocean and distant horizon rendered in the background. The inscription KEELING- / COCOS Is appears to the right of the palm in two lines, and the date 1968 is positioned along the lower rim. The design is rendered in dark ink on an aqua-colored plastic flan, characteristic of the emergency token coinage issued by the Clunies-Ross family for use on the islands. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The numeral 1c appears prominently at the center of the field, rendered in bold characters. Surrounding the central denomination is a radiate border composed of elongated leaf- or petal-shaped elements arranged in a full circle, creating a decorative sunburst or floral wreath motif. The design is printed in dark ink on the aqua plastic flan, consistent with the emergency token coinage series issued for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Cocos (Keeling) Islands coinage of 1968 was not government-issued currency but a private token series authorized by the Clunies-Ross family, who had governed the atoll as a personal fiefdom since the 19th century. These plastic tokens replaced an earlier ivory and aluminum series and functioned as the sole medium of exchange on the island, redeemable only at the Clunies-Ross company store — a arrangement that effectively kept the Cocos Malay workforce in a controlled economic loop until Australian federal intervention dismantled the system in the 1980s.
