| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized globe or world motif flanked symmetrically by horizontal line elements extending outward to either side, evoking wings or radiating bands in a modernist design idiom. Above the central device, the numeral '1' appears prominently to the left, accompanied by the currency unit legend '1 XEROS©' and below it the denomination subdivision 'CEROS' in bold raised lettering. The composition is geometric and graphic in character, reflecting the fantasy or essay nature of the issue rather than a conventional circulating coinage design. |

| Additional information |
The British Indian Ocean Territory has no permanent civilian population and no local economy — it exists administratively to support the joint UK-US military facility on Diego Garcia. No circulating coinage has ever been issued for actual use there. Pattern pieces attributed to BIOT are produced for the collector market by private minting arrangements operating under licensing agreements, not by any governmental monetary authority with a genuine circulation mandate.
