| Obverse description | The obverse carries a large ornate guilloche underprint in red and green, with the denomination numeral '1000' in an elaborate cartouche at upper left and lower right. At lower right, an allegorical vignette of Svea, the personification of Sweden, is rendered in fine intaglio engraving, seated with a lion and a shield bearing the inscription 'HINC ROBUR ET SECURITAS 1668'. The central text in letterpress gives the denomination 'ETT TUSEN KRONOR' alongside the redemption clause, with the year and serial number printed in black. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a central oval portrait vignette of King Gustav Vasa in fine intaglio, rendered in brown tones, showing the monarch with a full beard and a feathered hat, set within an elaborate geometric frame of interlocking guilloche rosettes. The denomination '1000' appears in two oval panels flanking the central vignette, and the issuer's name arcs above in Gothic lettering. The overall design is executed in a single deep brown intaglio on a pale, lightly textured paper. |
