Obverse description A stylized five-petalled plum blossom (Prunus mume), the national flower of the Republic of China, occupies the center of the field, rendered in bold relief with clearly delineated stamens radiating from a central hub. The Republic of China year date is inscribed in Chinese characters arcing across the upper portion of the field, reading from right to left. The issuing authority legend '臺灣銀行' (Bank of Taiwan) appears in two characters at the lower portion of the field. The entire design is framed by a fine beaded inner border adjacent to the reeded edge.

Reverse description The reverse features a spray of orchid blossoms (Cymbidium) to the left and an elongated orchid leaf to the right, both rendered in naturalistic relief, flanking the large Chinese denomination characters at center. The character '壹' (one) appears at the top center and '圓' (yuan/dollar) below it, the latter enclosed within a square cartouche-style frame. The design is contained within a fine beaded inner border, the plain field providing an uncluttered background that emphasizes the botanical and numismatic elements.
