The denomination '1000 FRANCS' appears in the lower field. The legend REPUBLIQUE TOGOLAISE arcs along the upper periphery, with a beaded border encircling the entire design.

Reverse description A finely detailed depiction of the five-masted full-rigged sailing ship 'Preussen', the celebrated German steel sailing vessel, shown under full sail navigating open seas with rendered wave detail in the exergue. A heraldic shield device, suggestive of the ship's figurehead emblem, appears above the vessel in the upper field. The name '"PREUSSEN"' is inscribed in an arc along the upper legend, and the date '2001' is placed in the lower exergue. The mirror-like proof fields contrast sharply with the frosted relief of the ship's rigging and sails.
