Obverse description	Multicolour intaglio note with principal wording and denomination numeral '1000' rendered in dark blue, with numbering and signature in black. A central allegorical vignette to the right presents the emblem of the French Union, portraying a woman from metropolitan France in profile alongside a West Indian woman set before a stylised palm grove, evoking the colonial bond of the French overseas territories. The engraver's and designer's credits appear in the lower margin below the guilloche underprint.
Obverse lettering	CAISSE CENTRALE DE LA FRANCE D'OUTRE-MER MILLE FRANCS R. POUGHEON FEC. HOURRIEZ SC. (Translation: Central Fund of Overseas France Thousand Francs)
Reverse description	Multicolour composition centred on a vignette of a Caribbean woman wearing a traditional madras headscarf, positioned before a canoe under a warm sunset sky over calm waters. The lower portion of the note carries a blue cartouche enclosing Article 139 of the Penal Code, serving as the anti-counterfeiting warning, with the designer's and engraver's credits inscribed in the margin.
