| Obverse description | Central vignette to the left shows a portrait of Lady Hazel Lavery, wearing a traditional shawl, rendered in intaglio within an oval frame against a fine guilloche underprint. Bilingual text in English and Irish appears across the upper and lower registers, with denomination numerals in the corners and two manuscript signatures below the central text block. The date is printed in red at the lower right, with the serial number in red at lower left and upper right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette of a bearded male river deity — representing the spirit of the River Lee — framed within an ornate Celtic interlace border and set against a symmetrical guilloche design with two large oval lozenges on either side. The overall composition is printed in deep green on a pale underprint, with no text other than decorative elements. |
