| Obverse description | The bank title 'THE NATIONAL BANK LIMITED' arches across the top in bold letterpress, flanked by the notations 'Unlimited for Note Issue' and 'Established 1835' in the upper corners. At centre, the bank's heraldic arms vignette shows a crowned shield bearing the Irish harp, supported by two lions rampant, set above a large green guilloche underprint. The promise-to-pay text in italic script reads across the lower half, with the denomination 'ONE POUND' in bold intaglio and the £1 numeral at lower left; red serial numbers appear on either side of the arms. |

At the centre, an oval vignette contains a seated allegorical figure of Hibernia, crowned, resting against a harp with a sailing vessel visible in the background. The overall composition is printed in a single dark green tone without additional lettering. |
