| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylised lion passant guardant, shown frontally within a wreath of laurel branches, holding a shield bearing a small cross in its forepaws and clutching a bundle of arrows. The lion is rendered in a naïve, archaic style characteristic of early 19th-century Greek coinage. The circular legend ΕΠΤΑΝΗΣΟΣ ΠΟΛΙΤΕΙΑ (Septinsular State) runs around the periphery in Greek characters, with a small star at the base separating the beginning and end of the inscription. The coin's rim shows a fine reeded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination numeral '1' at the top of the field, followed by the Greek legend ΓΑΖΕΤΑ (Gazetta) across the centre in large, bold characters, and the date 1801 below, all enclosed within a continuous oval wreath of elongated olive leaves. The design is plain and typographic in character, with no additional ornamental elements beyond the wreath border. The reeded rim mirrors that of the obverse. |
