| Obverse description | Square flan with rounded corners, struck on the diagonal (lozenge orientation). A raised inner circle frames the rampant lion of Ghent — the city's heraldic beast — depicted in bold relief facing left with forepaws raised and tail curled. The legend STAD = GENT · VILLE DE GAND runs around the inner circle in raised Latin letters, rendered in both Dutch and French to reflect the bilingual character of the issuing municipality. The corners of the square flan feature decorative foliate or geometric embellishments in the field. |

| Reverse description | Square flan with rounded corners, oriented as a lozenge. The central field displays the denomination numeral '1' paired with the letter 'F' (for Franc) in large raised characters within a raised diamond-shaped frame, with the date '15' (for 1915) visible in small figures. The bilingual redemption legend UITBETAALBAAR 1 JANUARIJ 1918 / REMBOURSABLE 1 JANVIER 1918 encircles the design along the borders of the square, announcing the note's redeemability in Dutch and French respectively. Small circular ornaments punctuate the legend at intervals. |
