| Obverse description | Central vignette framed by an ornate Khmer-style architectural arch; an elaborately caparisoned elephant stands at left, while a group of water buffalos wades through a river at right against a rocky mountainous backdrop. The denomination '1000' appears in all four corners, with the issuing bank title and 'MILLE PIASTRES' in large letterpress across the top. Artists' credits are printed in the lower margins, and the note bears the overprint 'SPECIMEN' across the centre. |

An ornate Khmer-style arch occupies the centre, with denomination equivalents in Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer, and Lao scripts arranged vertically at right. The anti-counterfeiting legal warning appears in a text block at lower right, with artists' credits in the lower margins. |
