Obverse description Intaglio portrait of Lord Ilay, First Governor of the Royal Bank of Scotland, at right, in period wig and dress coat, with his name and title inscribed below. The centre carries the promise-to-pay text and the denomination in stylised script over a vignette of Edinburgh Castle in pale underprint; a guilloche rosette appears at top centre, flanked by the bank's snowflake emblem. A circular Golden Jubilee commemorative seal with crown motif and the date 2002 is printed at lower left, and the Group Chief Executive's signature appears above the bank's coat of arms at bottom centre.

Reverse description Two intaglio portraits of Queen Elizabeth II occupy the centre-left: a larger informal image of the Queen smiling in later life is overlaid by a more formal youthful portrait in tiara and pearl necklace, evoking the span of her reign. A detailed rose window guilloche fills the upper right background, while the name ELIZABETH and the regnal dates 1952–2002 appear in the lower centre. The Golden Jubilee crown-and-scroll emblem is repeated at lower right against fine multicolour geometric underprinting, and a De La Rue security patch is visible at lower left.
