| Obverse description | A three-quarter-view intaglio portrait of King Matthias Corvinus (Mátyás Király) dominates the right portion of the note in blue-grey tones over a gold manuscript-script underprint, with the large intaglio denomination 1000 and the legend EZER FORINT to the left above the issuer name MAGYAR NEMZETI BANK. The Hungarian coat of arms appears below the denomination, while the MNB monogram is set within a pink guilloche rosette at upper left. The place and date of issue BUDAPEST and a facsimile signature are printed in the lower centre, with the anti-counterfeiting notice A BANKJEGYHAMISÍTÁST A TÖRVÉNY BÜNTETI! along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | The left and centre of the reverse carry a finely worked intaglio vignette of the Renaissance Hercules Fountain (Hercules Kút) from the Royal Palace of Visegrád, rendered with architectural precision on a tiered stone pedestal with figural reliefs. Adjacent to the fountain, a framed illuminated-manuscript vignette evokes the Corvinian library tradition through the figure of a medieval scribe at a lectern. Microprinted text bands reading EZER FORINT run along the upper and lower borders, and the inscription HERCULES KÚT / VISEGRÁDI KIRÁLYI PALOTA identifies the depicted monument in the lower centre. |
