| Obverse description | A central circular hole dominates the field, with the crowned royal cypher and denomination flanking it above and below respectively. The legend GEORGIVS V REX ET IND:IMP: encircles the design, reading around the beaded border. A mintmark, when present, appears below the letters EN of CENT. The overall layout is characteristic of the holed coinage issued for British East African territories. |

| Reverse description | A central circular hole is framed by two curved elephant tusks sweeping symmetrically inward from either side, their tips pointing toward the upper field where the numeral 1 is prominently displayed above the hole. The circular legend EAST AFRICA & UGANDA PROTECTORATES runs around the beaded outer border, with the date flanked by two raised dots positioned in the lower exergual area. The design is bold and simple, reflecting the utilitarian aesthetic of British colonial holed coinage. |
