A left-facing portrait bust of King George V occupies the right portion of the note, while the colonial seal with a sailing ship appears at left and a central vignette depicts palm trees and a ship.

Reverse description	Olive intaglio print on a cream ground. The British Royal coat of arms, with lion and unicorn supporters, crown and shield, is centrally placed within an ornate guilloche border bearing the motto inscriptions, flanked by agricultural vignettes — a fruit-harvesting scene to the left and a sisal or cane field with a labourer to the right. Denomination numerals £1 appear in ornate corner cartouches at all four corners, with THE BAHAMAS GOVERNMENT lettered in a prominent panel at the foot.
Reverse lettering	£1 ONE POUND THE BAHAMAS GOVERNMENT DIEU ET MON DROIT HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE WATERLOW & SONS LIMITED, LONDON WALL. LONDON, E.C. (Translation: God and my right. Shamed be whoever thinks ill of it.)
