| Obverse description | A naturalistic vignette of a Galápagos green sea turtle dominates the left portion of the note against a terracotta and sky-blue background with geometric guilloche underprint panels; the right field carries translucent botanical leaf vignettes, a branch of Annona cherimola, a circular guilloche rosette, and a stamp-style inset inscribed 'Islas Galápagos' with the Stoic motto 'Ducunt volentem fata, nolentem trahunt,' accompanied by a small lizard silhouette and a compass rose underprint in the central register. The denomination '1000' appears in large numerals at upper center with 'MIL NUEVOS SUCRES' in bold green letterpress below, flanked by the series designation 'SERIA AA' and a facsimile signature above the title 'GERENTE GENERAL.' A hexagonal holographic element is affixed at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a Galápagos lava heron in full lateral view rendered in warm brown intaglio-style tones, with an engraving-style grasshopper vignette positioned in the upper right field; a repeated microprint underprint of the numeral '1000' covers the background in graduating tones, and a faint portrait of a historical figure appears at lower center beneath the bird. A small inset map of the Galápagos archipelago is positioned at upper left. An iridescent optical variable device band runs horizontally across the middle register. |
