| Obverse description | Printed in black on white paper, the obverse centres on a finely engraved vignette of the Provincial Bank of Ireland's classical-style Belfast branch building, flanked by circular guilloche medallions each bearing the numeral '1'. An intricate geometric guilloche underprint fills the entire field within an ornate engine-turned border with corner denomination numerals. The promise-to-pay text, issue date, and denomination 'ONE POUND' appear in letterpress below the central vignette, with the bank agent's manuscript signature at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green, the reverse presents a large oval guilloche surround enclosing a central intaglio vignette of two allegorical female figures — Britannia seated at left holding a trident, and Hibernia seated at right with a harp — with a lion resting at their feet. Floral and shamrock motifs are woven into the surrounding engine-turned lacework, with stylised '£1' counters at the left and right margins. A ribbon inscription below the central group reads 'ESTABLISHED A.D. 1825'. |
