| Reverse description | The reverse is centred on a large, intricate guilloche vignette in teal and ochre tones, with a quill pen motif integrated into the design. Handwritten manuscript text from Prešeren's poetry — including verses of his poem 'Prijatli' — is reproduced in cursive script across the upper and central fields. The denomination '1000' appears in the lower left, the issuer inscription 'BANKA SLOVENIJE' runs vertically along the right margin, and the date '15. JANUAR 2000' with 'LJUBLJANA' is printed in the upper right, alongside the note's membership mark 'Guverner član Sveta Banke'. |

The 1000 Tolar was Slovenia's highest-denomination note for much of the currency's existence, and by 2000 the design had already been through several printings since the tolar's introduction in 1991 — the year Slovenia severed its monetary ties with the Yugoslav dinar following independence. Giesecke & Devrient in Munich handled production throughout the series, a common arrangement for smaller central banks lacking domestic high-security printing capacity.
Slovenia joined the eurozone on 1 January 2007, making the tolar one of the shortest-lived European currencies of the modern era — just sixteen years from introduction to demonetization.
