| Obverse description | The right portion of the note is dominated by an intaglio portrait of the Romantic poet France Prešeren (1800–1849), rendered in dark teal tones with his name and dates inscribed vertically along the right margin. To the left, a large numeral '1000' in green occupies the lower field, above which a facsimile of Prešeren's signature appears in the upper centre. The left side carries the vertical inscription 'BANKA SLOVENIJE' alongside a multicoloured guilloche underprint with geometric rosette patterns. |

| Comments |
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.
