Obverse description	Blue intaglio print on cream paper, with two allegorical female figures flanking a central cartouche; the left figure holds a lance and the right figure reclines with an anchor, both rendered in a classical engraved style. The central panel bears the inscription "BANQUE NATIONALE" at the top, the date "Bruxelles, le 18 Avril 1908," and the large denomination legend "MILLE FRANCS" in bold letterpress, with "PAYABLES A VUE" beneath. Serial number and alphanumeric check letters appear in the upper corners, with two manuscript signatures below the central text reserved for Le Trésorier and Le Gouverneur.

Reverse description	Blue intaglio print dominated by a large central oval guilloche panel filled with intricate lathe-work, framed by a laurel border. To the left, a seated male figure in classical armor rests beside a cannon wheel, while to the right a bearded male figure in antique dress leans on a ledge; a small circular portrait medallion of a female head appears at the top center above the oval. The composition is unlettered, relying entirely on the elaborate geometric underprint and flanking allegorical vignettes for its decorative effect.
