Obverse description	The obverse is printed in red-orange on a light ground, centred on a vignette of a traditional Gambian sailing pirogue on the River Gambia, with palm trees and riverbank vegetation in the background. To the right, a large circular guilloche underprint forms the centrepiece, flanked by ornate lathe-work borders and denomination counters reading '£1' at each corner. Two facsimile signatures appear below the central vignette — those of the Chairman and Director — with bilingual inscriptions in Latin and Arabic script running along the lower margin.

Reverse description	The reverse, also printed in red-orange, carries a detailed intaglio vignette of dock labourers stacking and carrying heavy sacks on a quayside, with a cargo vessel moored in the background and a sailing boat visible on the river to the left. Ornate guilloche borders frame the composition on all sides, with denomination counters at each corner. The issuer title and value are inscribed in a central panel at the top.
