| Reverse description | Printed in blue on a pale orange-cream underprint, the reverse presents two contrasting landscape vignettes flanking the large denomination numeral '1000': at left, a war-ravaged scene with bare, broken trees, ruined farm buildings, and scattered debris; at right, a peaceful rural scene with leafy trees, intact farmhouses, and agricultural implements, symbolising the contrast between destruction and reconstruction. The issuing authority title arches across the upper portion, with the statutory counterfeiting warning in italic script below, and the ordinance date at foot. |
