| Obverse description | Central intaglio vignette within an oval guilloche frame presents a left-facing bust of a young woman in traditional Greek costume with an ornate headdress. Flanking the portrait on both sides are large denomination numerals '1000' set within elaborate guilloche rosettes against a golden-ochre underprint. Three manuscript signatures appear in the lower portion — one Governor (Ο ΔΙΟΙΚΗΤΗΣ) to the left and two Directors (ΟΙ ΔΙΕΥΘΥΝΤΑΙ) to the right — beneath the denomination cartouche reading ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ ΧΙΛΙΑΙ. |
