Reverse description Central intaglio portrait of an African woman in frontal view, wearing a tall distinctive conical headdress adorned with a beaded band and a draped veil falling to her shoulders; large palm fronds fan out behind her across the full width of the note, with a tropical landscape vignette including additional figures and cacti visible in the background. A scalloped octagonal panel to the right provides space for overprinting, and a text cartouche in the lower right corner carries legal tender inscriptions; the border echoes the braided and geometric frame of the obverse.
Reverse lettering 1000 BANQUE DE L'AFRIQUE OCCIDENTALE 1000 SÉB. LAURENT FEC. RITA - CH. CLÉMENT SC.
