| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark red and grey tones, with an elaborate guilloche border running along all four edges and repeated denomination numerals '1000' at the margins. To the left, a large circular vignette contains the Polish White Eagle with spread wings on a red shield beneath an ornate royal crown. The central text panel, set against a fine guilloche underprint, carries the issuing authority's declaration in Polish, the date 'Warszawa, dn. 9-go grudnia 1916 roku,' three manuscript signatures, and a small inset oval vignette with the crowned eagle and denomination; to the right, a bold red oval cartouche displays the numeral '1000' in intaglio relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in deep blue and dark green on a pink guilloche underprint, with dense ornamental borders incorporating floral and foliate motifs in an Art Nouveau manner. Two large octagonal pink vignettes, one at left and one at right, each contain a faint watermark-style portrait — a male bust in antique style — set within sawtooth guilloche frames. Between them, a central vertical panel carries an elaborate floral ornament with the numeral '1000' and the denomination inscription in three lines; the upper register bears the full title of the issuing institution in bold white letterpress. |
