| Obverse description | The right-centre of the note is occupied by an intaglio vignette of the ancient minaret of the Chinguetti Mosque rendered in brown tones against a sandy-coloured guilloche underprint, with a low building at its base evoking the desert setting. The Mauritanian coat of arms appears at upper right, and the bank's name in Arabic script — البنك المركزي الموريتاني — is set across the top alongside a transparent polymer window at the left margin bearing an open-book motif framed by geometric lacework. Two facsimile signatures appear at centre-left below the large Arabic numeral denomination, and the date 28.11.2017 is printed below the bank title. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio engraving of a diesel locomotive hauling an iron-ore train, rendered in brown tones against a multicoloured guilloche underprint in shades of rose, orange, and teal. Electricity transmission pylons appear at the left background, referencing Mauritania's mining and energy infrastructure. The French bank title BANQUE CENTRALE DE MAURITANIE is set at upper right alongside the large numeral 1000 and the written denomination MILLE OUGUIYA at lower right, while the transparent polymer window at the right margin repeats the open-book security element within an ornate geometric frame. |
