| Obverse description | Printed in dark blue over a pale green guilloche underprint, the obverse displays a Greco-Roman aesthetic in Art Deco style. Classical helmeted portrait busts appear in vignettes at the upper left and upper right corners, flanked by decorative urns and anthemion motifs; the numeral "1000" is centred in the upper register between stylised torch-like ornaments. The denomination "MILLE FRANCS" is set in large letterpress type across the centre, with the corner numerals "1.000" repeated at lower left and right, and the disclaimer "USAGE EXCLUSIF À LA SCÈNE" inscribed within a guilloche panel at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Printed in grey-green with a lighter mint-green guilloche underprint, the reverse mirrors the overall Art Deco Greco-Roman composition of the obverse. Classical portrait busts in profile occupy vignette panels at the upper corners, above symmetrically placed pedestal urns; a large crown-like floral guilloche medallion fills the centre field below the numeral "1000". The inscription "MILLE FRANCS" appears in bold letterpress across the middle register, with "1.000" at the lower corners and the legend "USAGE EXCLUSIF À LA SCÈNE" within a beaded guilloche panel at the base. |
