| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Estonian coat of arms in the form of three passant lions arranged vertically in the field, each facing left with claws extended, rendered in bold relief. The date is split to either side of the central lion, with '19' to the left and '24' to the right. The design is contained within a dentilated inner border running along the coin's circumference. No legend appears on this face; the heraldic lions serve as the sole emblematic device. The overall composition is tightly balanced and characteristic of the restrained Art Deco aesthetic prevalent in early Estonian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the large numeral '1' prominently at the centre of the field, with the denomination word 'MARK' inscribed in bold capital letters beneath it. The legend 'EESTI VABARIIK' (Republic of Estonia) curves along the upper portion of the coin within a dentilated inner border, flanked by small decorative lozenge-shaped stops at each side and a single stop at the base. The plain field around the central numeral lends the denomination strong visual emphasis. The lettering is rendered in a sturdy serif style consistent with the coin's overall design. |
