| Obverse description | An intaglio portrait vignette of the Spanish Romantic poet and playwright José Zorrilla y Moral occupies the upper left, framed by a laurel wreath border, with his name inscribed below. The centre of the note is dominated by an elaborate multicolour guilloche rosette in blue, orange and green tones, overlaid with the serial number and issue date. The heading 'EL BANCO DE ESPAÑA' appears across the top, with 'MIL PESETAS' in bold letterpress beneath 'PAGARÁ AL PORTADOR', flanked by denominational numerals '1000' in the lower corners and three facsimile signature panels for the Governor, Auditor and Cashier below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large colour reproduction of Antonio María Esquivel's celebrated painting 'Los poetas contemporáneos. Una lectura de Zorrilla en el estudio del pintor' (The Contemporary Poets: A Reading by Zorrilla in the Painter's Studio), held in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. The scene renders a gathering of literary and artistic figures attending a poetry reading, executed in rich warm tones within a ruled frame. The denomination 'MIL PESETAS' and 'BANCO DE ESPAÑA' appear in the surrounding letterpress borders alongside the numeral '1000'. |
