| Obverse description | Central vignette of a tower serving as a lighthouse with three sailing vessels at sea, framed by upper and left margin matrices with typeset text. The denomination "1000" appears at left and right, flanking the main text block, which includes spaces for manuscript date entries and four signature lines designating the Comisario Regio, Director, Vicepresidente, and Cajero. The overall layout follows the letterpress style typical of mid-nineteenth-century Spanish provincial bank issues. |
