| Obverse description | The national arms of the Yemen Arab Republic — an eagle with spread wings bearing a shield — appears as a vignette at the left, rendered in green intaglio. The central field carries the denomination in Arabic script within an elaborate guilloche panel, flanked by intricate geometric latticework borders typical of Bradbury Wilkinson engraving. Arabic inscriptions referencing the issuing authority and authorization appear below the denomination, with the serial number printed twice in green. |

| Reverse description | A detailed architectural vignette occupies the centre and right of the note, illustrating the traditional multi-storey tower houses of the Old City of Sanaa with a minaret rising at centre. To the left, a large blank oval panel serves as the watermark window. A circular guilloche rosette is positioned at the far right, with the English denomination "ONE RIAL" printed within it. The overall design is executed in green on a light ground. |
