| Obverse description | Central vignette of a horse-drawn plough, a recurring agricultural motif common to the Currency Commission consolidated banknote series, set within an intricate guilloche border. Bilingual text in English and Irish (Gaelic) identifies the issuing authority and the paying bank, with the denomination stated as "One Pound" and "Punt" respectively. The name of The Ulster Bank Limited appears as the participating bank responsible for payment at the principal Dublin office. |

| Reverse description | A large central intaglio-printed vignette depicts the Custom House, Dublin, viewed from the River Liffey, with a tall-masted sailing vessel moored in the foreground and dramatic cloud formations above the neoclassical façade. The composition is framed by an elaborate guilloche border with acanthus-scroll ornamentation, and the denomination numeral "£1" appears in bold relief within decorative cartouches at both the left and right margins. The overall colour scheme is green with a lilac-purple guilloche underprint. |
