| Obverse description | Green and gray provisional note with an elaborate guilloche border framing the entire face. The large numeral "1" occupies the left panel, below which appears the denomination in Lithuanian text, while the right panel carries the bank title, redemption clause, date of issue, issuing authority name, two manuscript signatures, and an anti-counterfeiting warning, all set within a finely engraved letterpress layout. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green, the reverse is divided by a central guilloche panel bearing the vertical inscription "VIENAS LITAS" and two "LITAS" cartouches, flanked symmetrically on each side by a circular vignette of the Lithuanian Vytis — an armoured knight on a rearing horse — set against a finely cross-hatched background. The denomination numerals "1" appear in the lower corners, and the curved legend "LIETUVOS BANKO LAIKINASIS BANKNOTAS" runs along the lower arc of the design, with a rosette guilloche medallion at the foot centre. |
