Obverse description	Dark olive-green intaglio print on a guilloche underprint. At centre, a large numeral '1' vignette within an ornate scalloped frame, flanked to the left by a tree vignette and to the right by an engraved view of the Banco Central de Reserva de El Salvador's new building, captioned accordingly. The bank title arcs across the top, with serial number and series letters repeated at left and right, three facsimile signatures along the lower portion, and the promise-to-pay text in a decorative cartouche below the central numeral.

Reverse description	Printed in red on a guilloche-patterned ground, the reverse centres on an oval portrait vignette of Christopher Columbus within an elaborate scrollwork surround, flanked by large numeral '1' counters at each side. The denomination 'UN COLÓN' appears in a solid cartouche along the lower edge, with the bank title inscribed across the top and the legend 'CRISTÓBAL COLÓN' below the portrait. Corner ornaments and fine lathe-work borders complete the design.
