| Reverse description | Printed in green on plain paper, the reverse mirrors the obverse layout with two oval '1000' counters flanking a central vignette of foliage and a bird, all enclosed within a guilloche rectangular border. The issuer's text and promise line are repeated in lighter green impression, with the directorate line and date '1º Agosto 1857' at the foot. The overall impression is noticeably lighter than the obverse, serving as a security back-print. |
