Reverse description Purple on plain paper, with a vertical format dominated by a large central medallion enclosing the numeral 1 within a pearl-bordered circle set against a fine lathe-work background. An elaborate acanthus-scroll vignette frames the medallion, above which the title ONE YEN IN GOLD. appears in bold gothic lettering. Below the medallion, a circular panel carries the English promise text of the Bank of Taiwan, while Chinese characters in a vertical column occupy the upper right, and a further Chinese inscription runs horizontally along the lower margin.
