| Description de l’avers | Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Italy, supported by two lions, occupies the upper centre, flanked by encircled denomination numerals '1000' at upper left and right, all joined by an intricate floral and foliate guilloche border. At lower centre, a legal text cartouche is framed by two reclining putti — the left holding a sheaf of wheat and the right a vine branch with grapes, symbolising agriculture — while at the left margin stands a female allegory of Geometry holding a compass, attended by a seated putto with an anchor beside a barrel and parcel representing Commerce, and at the right margin a female allegory of Geography holds a terrestrial globe beside a child with a drawing pad and sculptural instruments representing the Visual Arts. A light green underprint of the denomination '1000' appears in transparency behind the central text, with a boat vignette at lower left and a locomotive at lower right, the entire design executed in dark grey intaglio; the left border carries a matrix strip inscribed 'Regno d'Italia', with series letter 'S', fractional number, and serial number at upper left and upper right. |

| Commentaires |
The Consorzio degli Istituti di Emissione was itself a short-lived administrative arrangement — a consortium binding together the Banca Nazionale nel Regno d'Italia, the Banca Nazionale Toscana, and several smaller regional institutes to issue notes under unified authority following Italian unification. This 1000 Lire was among the highest-denomination circulating instruments of its day, and in practical terms rarely changed hands outside of wholesale trade, government transactions, and large private banking operations.
The Officina Carte Valori at San Teodoro in Rome was established specifically to bring security printing under direct state control — a political priority after years of dependence on private and foreign presses.
