| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the bold interlaced VOC-style monogram rendered as 'VEIC' — the initials of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie's British successor authority — with the letters V, E, I, and C arranged in an interlaced cypher. The date appears in the lower portion of the field beneath the monogram. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner border running along the coin's periphery, consistent with the utilitarian typographic style employed for colonial tin coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold three-line inscription in the central field reading '1 / DOIT / JAVA' in large serif capital letters, with the numeral '1' positioned at the top flanked by two raised pellets on either side, and a single pellet below the word 'JAVA' at the base of the field. The legend is contained within a plain inner border, reflecting the straightforward typographic style characteristic of British colonial emergency coinage struck for circulation in Java during the brief British interregnum. |
