| Obverse description | Large numeral '1' occupying the central field, with the curved legend 'ZICHRON JACOB' arranged along the upper periphery in bold Latin letters. Below the numeral, a decorative floral ornament consisting of a central rosette flanked by leafy branches serves as a dividing device. The design is plain and functional, rendered in low relief against a flat, unadorned field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Hebrew name of the settlement in two horizontal lines across the central field: 'זכרון' above and 'יעקב' below, rendered in large, bold square Hebrew script. A small decorative dash-and-dot ornament appears below the lower line of text near the base, providing a simple decorative finish. The field is otherwise plain, and the inscription fills the available space in a bold, legible manner consistent with the utilitarian nature of this colonial scrip token. |
