Obverse description	At centre, a portrait vignette of Syngman Rhee (1875–1965), first President of the Republic of Korea, rendered in intaglio against a fine guilloche underprint. Denomination numerals and Korean inscriptions occupy the surrounding border, with the issuer name rendered in both Hangul and Hanja. The overall design is framed by an ornate guilloche border with decorative scroll work at each corner.
Obverse lettering	천 韓國銀行券千圜韓國銀行 1000 ONE THOUSAND HWAN (Translation: One Thousand, Korean banknote, One Thousand Hwan, The Bank of Korea)
Reverse description	At centre, the Bank of Korea emblem — a stylised circular seal set above a traditional Korean architectural structure — is flanked by ornate acanthus-scroll cartouches executed in intaglio. The denomination numeral '1000' appears at the upper left and right corners, with the issuer name arching across the top in decorative script, while the Hangul denomination '천 환' is placed symmetrically within the guilloche border.
