| Opschrift voorzijde | GALÁPAGOS TORTOISE 1000 SUCRES GALÁPAGOS Chelonoidis niger |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a detailed vignette of Darwin's Arch, the celebrated natural rock formation located southeast of Darwin Island in the Galápagos archipelago, rendered in a scenic engraving style. A portrait of the naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) appears alongside the arch motif, with the denomination '1000 SUCRES' repeated in bold type. A disclaimer legend running across the lower register explicitly identifies the note as a non-legal-tender collector's item. |

The Galápagos Islands have no monetary authority, no central bank, and no legal basis to issue currency — they are a province of Ecuador, which has used the U.S. dollar as its official currency since 2000. A "1000 Sucres" denomination compounds the fiction: the sucre was retired in 2000 at 25,000 per dollar and no longer exists in any form. This note is a novelty or fantasy item with no issued status in any recognized catalog.
