A large central blank oval, intended for the watermark, is framed by intricate guilloche borders extending to all four corners, with denomination numerals "1000" repeated at each corner. The artist and engraver credits appear in the lower corners of the design. |

Printed by the Banque de France in Paris, this note was part of Romania's interwar effort to maintain Western European printing standards at a time when the leu was under sustained pressure from trade imbalances and incomplete monetary stabilization following the 1929 reforms. The engraving was handled by Eugène Gaspérini, one of the Banque de France's most accomplished intaglio specialists of the period.
The design credit to Nicolae Grigorescu is notable — Grigorescu was Romania's most celebrated 19th-century painter, who had died in 1907. His work was adapted posthumously for banknote use, a common nationalistic gesture in interwar Romanian currency design.
