| Obverse description | The obverse is an elaborately engraved intaglio composition centred on the bold text "mille francs" in large serif script, surmounted by the inscription "BANQUE DE FRANCE / SUCCURSALE DE [branch name]" within a formal typographic layout. Flanking allegorical vignettes occupy the left and right margins, with classical figures in medallion-style frames and ornate architectural borders running the full perimeter. The date, branch officer signatures, and serial number appear in letterpress within designated fields across the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a restrained intaglio design dominated by two seated allegorical female figures positioned symmetrically at left and right, flanking a central guilloche panel bearing the denomination "1000" and the inscription "BANQUE DE FRANCE" in bold capital letters. The composition is framed by a fine engraved border with repeating ornamental motifs, the overall treatment kept deliberately sparse to contrast with the richly detailed obverse. |
