Obverse description	The obverse is printed in blue-violet on a dense guilloche underprint. At centre, the denomination ONE THOUSAND LIRE is set within an ornate panel flanked by scrollwork, with a large blank oval to the left reserved for the serial number area. To the right, a circular vignette displays a lion passant guardant atop a crown — the British Royal Arms symbol — enclosed within an oval frame. The serial number appears at upper right, with bilingual inscriptions in English and Arabic along the upper and lower margins.

Reverse description	The reverse is printed in grey-brown and features an elaborate symmetrical arrangement of foliate and acanthus scroll vignettes flanking the central denomination numeral. The figure 1000 appears in large numerals above the word LIRE, all set within an intricate guilloche surround. A large blank oval at right mirrors the design balance, and a fine decorative border of interlocking scrollwork frames the entire composition.
