| Obverse description | A leopard passant is depicted in the central field, rendered in bold relief, facing left with its long tail curving upward behind it. Above the animal, a crescent and five-pointed star — elements of the Somali emblem — are displayed prominently. The legend SOMALIA arcs along the lower periphery in large Latin capital letters, while the engraver's signature ROMAGNOLI appears in small characters at the very base of the design. The overall composition is framed by a beaded border, and the artistic style reflects the refined engraving work of the Rome Mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the denomination 1 SOMALO inscribed in two lines at the centre of the field, surrounded by a beaded inner circle. The legend ROMA - 1950 curves along the upper portion of the outer field in Latin capitals, denoting the mint city and date of issue. An Arabic inscription arcs along the lower portion of the outer field, reading ضرب في روما سنة ١٣٦٩ (meaning 'Struck in Rome, year 1369' in the Islamic Hijri calendar), reflecting the bilingual character of the territory. The design is framed by a reeded edge and an outer beaded border, giving the reverse a clean and formal appearance. |
