The design, sculpted by Glenna Goodacre and engraved by Phebe Hemphill, renders the figures in high relief with naturalistic detail. The legend LIBERTY arcs across the upper field, while the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears in two lines to the left of the central effigy. The designer's initials appear incused at the lower left of the design.

Reverse description The reverse depicts a portrait bust of Mary Kawena Pukui facing slightly left, wearing a hibiscus flower in her hair, a kukui nut lei around her neck, and a muumuu adorned with an aloha print. Stylized representations of flowing water fill the background field, evoking the Hawaiian landscape with which Pukui was deeply connected. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs along the upper border, with the denomination $1 to the right. The inscription MARY KAWENA PUKUI appears above the portrait, and the Hawaiian phrase NANA I KE KUMU, meaning Look to the Source, is inscribed in the lower field.
