| Obverse description | Against a deeply struck black field, the obverse features a colorized child's drawing rendered in vibrant polychrome enamel, depicting a determined young figure wearing a hachimaki headband and a Japanese flag motif shirt, raising two national flags in an expression of resilience and national solidarity. The legend 日本国 (State of Japan) is inscribed in relief at the upper field, flanked by the colored characters がんばろう日本 (Let's do our best, Japan) distributed across the left and right fields in a childlike hand-drawn style. The denomination 1000円 appears in bold relief along the lower portion of the field. The overall design is based on artwork submitted by a child, symbolizing hope and recovery following the Great East Japan Earthquake. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely engraved proof landscape scene set within a circular inner frame against a mirror-polished black field. The central motif depicts a solitary pine tree standing tall on a coastal plain, a symbol of endurance and survival referencing the famous lone surviving pine of Rikuzentakata following the 2011 tsunami. Rocky coastal formations and cranes in flight are visible in the middle and background, rendered with exceptional detail. The legend がんばろう日本 (Let's do our best, Japan) arcs along the upper border, flanked by raised dots, while the reign era date 平成27年 (Year 27 of Heisei) is inscribed in relief along the lower border. |
