| Obverse description | The Jersey coat of arms is positioned at the upper left, rendered in a mauve-purple letterpress print against a pale green guilloche underprint that covers the central field. The issuer name in Gothic script occupies the upper centre, with the bearer promise and denomination text arranged in italic script below, and the numeral '1' printed in large format at the right margin. The Treasurer's facsimile signature appears at lower right above the printed title, with the serial number repeated twice in black typeset numerals. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse is occupied by a large vignette drawn by Edmund Blampied, signed and dated 1941 in the upper left corner of the design. The scene renders a horse-drawn cart traversing a rocky coastal foreshore, with figures aboard and a second cart visible in the middle distance, all executed in a loose, expressive line-drawing style characteristic of Blampied's illustrative work. The composition is printed in mauve-purple on plain unadorned paper, with no additional text or ornamentation. |
