| Obverse description | Black on red underprint. The four corners each bear the denomination in words ONE, with GUERNSEY printed sideways in both lateral margins and THE STATES OF GUERNSEY running along the top and bottom margins. A vignette of St. Sampson's harbour occupies the upper centre, flanked on left and right by a letter-over-letter prefix and four-digit serial number; a printed date of issue appears at centre-right below the vignette. Two manuscript signatures appear at lower left and lower right, with the denomination in words at bottom left. |

| Reverse description | Printed in blue by letterpress, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate engine-turned guilloche pattern of interlocking scalloped medallions radiating from a central circular vignette bearing the Guernsey Arms — a shield charged with three golden lions passant — enclosed within a legend reading INSVLA DEGGERNEAE S. BALLIVIE. The printer's imprint of Perkins Bacon & Co. London appears at the foot of the central vignette. |
