| 表面の説明 | Black letterpress print on pale paper with a red underprint. Allegorical vignettes frame the central text field: Minerva seated at left and Mercury at right, with a cherub at each corner; the Royal Arms of Belgium appear at bottom center within a laurel cartouche. Two circular ink stamps are visible at the lateral margins. The note is printed in mirror image, as the design reads correctly only when held to the light, a characteristic security feature of this early issue. |

One of the earliest high-denomination notes issued by the Banque Nationale de Belgique after its founding in 1850, this 1000 Francs represents serious money for its time — roughly equivalent to several months' wages for a skilled tradesman. The bank was only a year old when this note was printed, still establishing the institutional credibility necessary to make large-denomination paper acceptable to a mercantile class that remained skeptical of fiduciary currency.
Léopold Wiener was primarily a medallist and engraver, best known for his work on Belgian coinage, which makes his involvement here notable. The mirror-image counter-print security device — an intaglio impression on the reverse that reads correctly only when held to light — was a relatively sophisticated anti-counterfeiting measure for the period.
