Reverse description	The central vignette, enclosed in a rectangular intaglio frame, presents a dramatic engraved view of a railway line cutting through a steep rock gorge at Sakarya, with an open valley and distant townscape visible beyond. Flanking the central scene are two large oval ornamental medallions — the left filled with intricate arabesque guilloche tracery and the right left blank as a watermark panel — all set against a dense engine-turned background in navy blue and warm gold. Denomination panels reading 1000 within TÜRK LİRASI appear in the lower left and lower right corners, with the caption SAKARYA inscribed below the central vignette and the printer's imprint along the bottom margin; a red SPECIMEN overprint runs diagonally across the face.
Reverse lettering	TÜRK LİRASI 1000 SAKARYA THOMAS DE LA RUE & COMPANY, LIMITED, LONDRES (Translation: TURKISH LIRA / 1000 / SAKARYA)
