Obverse description The centre of the note carries the large numeral '1' flanked by intricate guilloche panels on either side, with the royal arms vignette positioned above the denomination inscription. Chinese characters appear in a panel along the top border, with Jawi script running along the lower margin. The promise-to-pay text and date are printed across the middle field, with three signature lines of the Currency Commissioners below.

Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a large central guilloche medallion enclosing a tiger vignette, surrounded by elaborate lathe-work borders in a dark green intaglio print. The numeral '1' appears in ornate cartouches at the left and right of the central design. The overall composition is symmetric, with fine engine-turned scrollwork filling the remaining field.
