| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda in an oval vignette at left, set against a fine guilloche underprint in green and blue tones. A central vignette portrays two fishermen in a traditional dugout canoe on a calm lake, with a tree-covered headland in the background. Denomination numerals appear in starburst devices at the four corners, with the bank title in letterpress across the top. |

| Reverse description | A large intaglio vignette occupies the central field, showing three agricultural workers harvesting cotton by hand amid dense cotton plants in full bloom, rendered in fine line engraving on a pale green ground. A bold boxed denomination panel reading ONE POUND is centred below the vignette. The upper border carries a decorative frieze with £1 devices at either side, and the issuing bank name runs in letterpress along the lower margin. |
