| Obverse description | The face is composed of intricate guilloche patterns forming the decorative underprint, with the denomination and issuer name rendered in Hebrew script. The central text reads "One Israel Pound" and identifies the issuing institution, Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M., with the numeral "1" appearing in the corners. The overall design is executed in a restrained, typographic style characteristic of early Israeli currency. |

| Obverse lettering | 1 בנק לאומי לישראל בע"מ ישלם למוכ"ז לירה ישראלית אחת הבנק יקבל השטר הזה לשלם תשלום בכל חשבון שהוא מטבע חוקית לתשלום כל סכום שהוא (Translation: Bank Leumi Le-Israel B.M. Will pay to the bearer One Israel Pound The bank will accept this note for payment in any account Legal tender for payment of any amount) |
| Reverse description | The reverse mirrors the face in its reliance on guilloche underprint work, with the denomination and bank name presented in Arabic and English. The numeral "1" occupies the corner positions, while the central text carries the promise-to-pay clause in both scripts. The bilingual layout reflects the official language requirements of the period. |
