| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central intaglio vignette in the academic allegorical tradition, presenting a standing family group at right — a male farmer with pitchfork, a woman bearing a basket of fruit, and a young boy — set against an open agricultural landscape with donkeys and field workers in the middle ground. A large circular guilloche panel occupies the left field, serving as the watermark zone, with the denomination '1000' in corner numerals and the bank title 'BANQUE DE L'ALGÉRIE / TUNISIE' in bold letterpress across the upper register. Three facsimile signatures of the Directeur, Caissier, and Secrétaire are arranged across the lower central field, with the issue date and serial number printed below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is anchored at left by a bust-length allegorical female figure with flowing hair, her gaze turned to the right, a sheaf of wheat before her, rendered in rich intaglio engraving. A broad dam and reservoir landscape extends across the central field, with a seated figure in traditional dress at right mid-ground amid lush vegetation, while a circular guilloche panel occupies the right field as the watermark zone. An abundant foreground still life of fruits and vegetables fills the lower register, complementing the note's agricultural and hydraulic development themes. |
