| Obverse description | Printed in blue-grey intaglio over a pink-red letterpress underprint, the obverse centres a guilloche panel bearing the bank's trilingual title and denomination in German, French, and Italian. A full-length allegorical female figure in classical robes, holding a shield with the Swiss cross, occupies the left margin, while a seated putto vignette fills the lower-right corner panel. Four numeral counters reading '1000' mark the corners, with three signature lines for the President of the Bank Council, the Chief Cashier, and a member of the Directorate positioned below the central text block. |

| Reverse description | Executed in blue intaglio over a pink-red letterpress underprint, the reverse presents the trilingual denomination inscription within an elaborate guilloche framework. Two large circular medallion vignettes, each enclosing a classical female portrait in profile, flank the central text panel to the left and right, surrounded by concentric rings of fine lathe-work incorporating repeated numeral '1000' elements. Numeral counters occupy all four corners, and a continuous marginal legend borders all four sides. |
