| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a geometric border with ornamental guilloche framing and a repeated underprint lettering of 'BANCO DE ESPAÑA' across the background. A circular coat of arms occupies the central field, surrounded by text panels carrying the promise-to-pay legend and the date of issue. The overall layout is typographic and formal in character, consistent with emergency note production. |

The vignette is set within a teal guilloche border with elaborate acanthus-leaf corner ornaments and a ribbon scroll bearing the bank name at top. The denomination numeral '1000' appears in large bold type within a rectangular panel at the bottom centre. |
