The color scheme on the face is deep bold blue, with yellow hues permeating through the background. The vignettes are found etched in burgundy and pink.

The reverse shows a beautiful hand drawn floral pattern throughout the border and background in yellow and white. The guilloche at center is in deep green with beautiful "1 L. E." protectors on each side with NATIONAL BANK OF EGYPT written arched on top and ONE EGYPTIAN POUNDS arched below. This unlisted design is a significant offering that has been privately held for quite some time. Now it's freshly graded, and ready for a new home in a very advanced collection.
