Obverse description The obverse is printed on a salmon-toned guilloche underprint with two circular pink and black denomination medallions bearing the numeral "1" in the upper left and upper right corners. At centre, a large vignette of the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle surmounted by a crown is set within an oval cartouche flanked by ornate lathe-work panels, with the year "1864" split on either side. Russian text in bold letterpress occupies the upper field, followed by parallel Polish text below, and two serial number panels appear at lower centre-left and lower centre-right; at the foot of the note are printed signature lines for Prezes Banku and Dyrektor Banku with manuscript signatures.

Reverse description The reverse carries a large central vignette panel with a cross-shaped decorative border of red guilloche lace-work enclosing an oval cartouche. Within the cartouche, the denomination is stated in three languages in letterpress: French, English, and German, each citing "Royaume de Pologne" / "Kingdom of Poland" / "Koenigreich Polen". Large watermark-style numerals "1" appear in pale red on both flanks of the central frame. At the head of the note the Russian denomination is set in bold Cyrillic, and at the foot the Polish denomination is repeated in large Roman letters, with a printed sheet number below the central frame.
