| Obverse description | Dark brown intaglio print on light ground. Central oval vignette bears a bust portrait of Admiral Manuel Blanco Encalada in military uniform, set within an elaborate guilloche surround with scrollwork cartouche. Denomination numerals '1000' appear at each corner, with 'MIL PESOS' vertically along both side margins; series and serial number printed twice across the note field, with two manuscript signatures below — 'PRESIDENTE' at lower left and 'GERENTE GENERAL' at lower right. |
