| Obverse description | Dark green intaglio-printed note with an elaborate ornamental composition. At centre, a female portrait vignette in an oval medallion is set within the upper border, flanked by two large allegorical putti vignettes at left and right, each seated amid floral and foliate decorative cartouches. The central field carries the issuing authority and denomination in bold letterpress text, with three punch-cancelled circular holes below the signature line reserved for Cassier, Präsident, and Director. Numeral panels reading '1000' appear at lower left and right, alongside trilingual denomination references in German, French, and Italian. |

| Reverse description | Plain typographic reverse printed in dark ink on aged paper, with the text arranged in three lines of large serif and display lettering centred on the note. Three punch-cancelled circular holes, corresponding to those on the obverse, are visible across the centre of the field. The overall design is unadorned, relying entirely on the bold letterpress inscription for its composition. |
