| Reverse description | The denomination 1 EYRIR is inscribed at the centre of the field, flanked symmetrically to the left and right by sprigs of pubescent birch (Betula pubescens), the only tree native to Iceland, rendered in fine relief. The country name ÍSLAND appears as the upper legend, with the denomination completing the inscription below, creating a balanced and restrained design typical of mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian coinage. |

| Additional information |
Iceland never circulated a 1 eyrir coin in aluminium — this piece was struck as a pattern in 1966, almost certainly as part of a broader reform exercise that ultimately produced the aluminium aurar series introduced in 1970. Pattern issues from the Hafnarfjörður-era Icelandic mint are rarely documented in depth, and surviving examples from this specific trial remain outside most reference catalogs.
