| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of blue and grey, centred on a large vignette of a phoenix rising from flames, its wings spread wide against a guilloche underprint. The denominations "1000" appear in bold numerals to the left and right of the central vignette, flanked by decorative foliate sprays of olive and oak branches at each corner. The issuer's name "CAISSE CENTRALE de la FRANCE LIBRE" is inscribed across the top, with two manuscript signatures below — one for the Directeur Général at lower left and one for the Président du Conseil de Surveillance at lower right — and "MILLE FRANCS" in large capitals along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in blue tones and presents a pastoral rural landscape vignette at centre, with farmhouses, bare trees, a plough, and figures in a field, evoking the French countryside. Above the landscape, a legal warning text in French is set within a decorative panel, and the numeral "1000" appears in large figures below it against an ornamental scroll device. The issuer's name "CAISSE CENTRALE DE LA FRANCE LIBRE" is inscribed at the top, with the authorising decree date "Ord. du 2 Déc. 1941" noted at the foot. |
