| Reverse description | Central design depicts a partial globe showing the Atlantic Ocean flanked by the coastlines of the Americas to the left and Europe and Africa to the right, evoking Columbus's voyage of 1492. Three period caravels with cross-emblazoned sails navigate the open sea between the continents, rendered in finely detailed relief. The denomination $1000 appears in the upper field above the globe. A decorative scrollwork cartouche frames the top of the inner design, while a twisted rope border encircles the entire composition.
