| Obverse description | A finely engraved panoramic vignette of Douglas harbour occupies the upper portion of the note, rendered in detailed intaglio with sailing vessels in the foreground and the town extending across the hillside to the right. The central field carries a large red guilloche underprint with the denomination "ONE" worked through it, overlaid with the promise-to-pay text in copperplate script. Large ornate red numeral "1" counters appear at each upper corner, with the issuer's title in bold letterpress across the middle, and spaces for date, serial number, and the Secretary and Manager signatures at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue on a fine vertical-line underprint ground. A central vignette presents the Isle of Man triskelion within an elaborate foliate cartouche, encircled by the Manx motto "QUOCUNQUE JECERIS STABIT". The issuer's name arcs above the central motif on a ribbon banner, with "LIMITED" on a second banner below, and decorative floral cornerpieces at each angle within a geometric border of alternating triangles. |
