| Reverse description | Printed in dark purple-brown on a pale green guilloche underprint, the reverse carries the Biafran coat of arms — an eagle displayed above two leopard supporters flanking a shield charged with a rising sun, on a scroll inscribed PEACE · UNITY · FREEDOM — set within a fine engine-turned circular medallion to the right. To the left, an elaborate lathe-work oval frames a blank watermark reserve, while ornamental corner roundels bear sterling pound signs and the numeral 1, and a ribbon cartouche at foot centre reads ONE POUND. |
