| Obverse description | Brown-tinted note engraved in the style of Perkins, Bacon & Petch, with a central allegorical vignette of a seated female figure beside the sea, accompanied by a cornucopia overflowing with fruit and a sailing vessel in the background. The bank title BANCO DE MALAGA appears across the upper margin, with oval denomination cartouches reading SON 1000 Rvon flanking the vignette at upper left and right. Ornate guilloche borders frame the note on all sides, with horizontal text lines for manuscript completion of date and issuing details in the lower portion. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows a plain unprinted surface in off-white paper, with the obverse design visible in ghosted form as show-through from the intaglio-printed face. Faint impressions of the guilloche border and text lines from the obverse are discernible through the paper stock, confirming the single-sided printing technique typical of mid-nineteenth century Spanish provincial bank issues. |
