| Obverse description | The royal arms vignette occupies the upper centre, surmounted by a curved inscription noting the Royal Charter of 1746, with the numeral "1" appearing in the upper corners. An oval seal with a classical allegorical figure is positioned at the left. The denomination is rendered in large letterpress script across the centre, with the bank's promise-to-pay text above and the court of directors' authority line below, over a guilloche underprint in blue and pink tones. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue and centred on a large circular medallion containing the bank's allegorical seal: a classical seated female figure with a ship in the background, encircled by the motto "DITAT." The medallion is set within an elaborate guilloche border of interlocking floral and geometric patterns that extends to all four margins, with the numeral "1" repeated in each corner. |
