The first two Hilbert coefficients of a primary ideal play an important role in commutative algebra and in algebraic geometry. In this paper we give a complete algebraic structure of the Sally module of integrally closed ideals I in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring A satisfying the equality e1(I)=e0(I)-ℓA(A/I)+ℓA(I2/QI)+1, where Q is a minimal reduction of I, and e0(I) and e1(I) denote the first two Hilbert coefficients of I, respectively the multiplicity and the Chern number of I. This almost extremal value of e1(I) with respect classical inequalities holds a complete description of the homological and the numerical invariants of the associated graded ring. Examples are given.
