| Obverse description | Central vignette shows an intaglio-printed dhow under sail on the harbour of Aden, with the rugged Crater mountain range rising in the background and the coastal townscape visible to the right. The issuer's name appears in both English and Arabic along the top, flanked by the denomination value '£1' and 'د١' in the upper corners, with arabesque guilloche borders framing all four sides. Two manuscript signatures of the Secretary and Chairman appear below the central vignette, with the serial number printed twice in black. |

| Reverse description | A tall date palm occupies the central axis, its fronds spreading across a finely engraved guilloche background, with a cotton plant in full bloom rendered in intaglio to the lower left. The denomination '£1' appears in the upper left and lower right corners, while 'د١' is placed in the upper right and lower left corners, all set against an intricate wave-pattern underprint in blue and green tones. |
