The bank title TÜRKİYE CÜMHURİYET MERKEZ BANKASI runs along the top border, with serial numbers and series indicators printed in red at four corners. Three manuscript signatures appear along the lower portion of the note above the printer imprint. |

A central intaglio vignette occupies most of the note's face, portraying a line of uniformed Boy Scout buglers in profile, rendered in fine engraved detail against a lightly hatched background. Ornate rosette guilloche medallions flank the central scene on both sides, with the denomination 1000 repeated in each corner and the bank title TÜRKİYE CÜMHURİYET MERKEZ BANKASI arching across the top. The overall colour scheme is blue-grey, with the printer imprint AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY at the bottom centre. |

Turkey contracted the American Bank Note Company for this series during the late 1940s, a period when domestic printing infrastructure was inadequate for high-denomination production. The postwar economic strain was real — Turkey had maintained an official neutrality during the war but paid heavily for it through inflation and supply disruption, and the 1000 Lira was a substantial sum in 1946 purchasing terms.
ABNC's engraving work on this issue is among the finer examples of their mid-century output for a Muslim-majority state, though the series is less studied than their Latin American contemporaries.
