| Obverse description | Predominantly blue in coloration, the obverse carries a central vignette of the Three Dikgosi — Chiefs Sebele I, Bathoen I, and Khama III — whose historic 1895 journey to Britain successfully preserved the Bechuanaland Protectorate from annexation by the British South Africa Company. The portrait group is set against a fine guilloche underprint with the denomination and issuer name inscribed in both English and Setswana. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vignette of an open-pit diamond mine, illustrating Botswana's position as one of the world's foremost diamond producers, complemented by a secondary vignette of a diamond sorter carefully examining a rough diamond. Fine geometric guilloche patterning fills the background, with the denomination value repeated in numerals and lettering. |
