| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue intaglio on a light underprint and centres on a large vignette of a phoenix rising from flames, its wings spread wide within a circular guilloche frame. Flanking the central vignette are four decorative plant sprays — olive and oak branches — at each corner, with the denomination numeral 1000 repeated on either side in bold letterpress. The issuer's name CAISSE CENTRALE DE LA FRANCE D'OUTRE-MER is inscribed across the top, with the words MILLE FRANCS at the base, and two manuscript signatures appear below, captioned Le Directeur Général and Le Président du Conseil de Surveillance. |
