| Reverse description | A large intaglio vignette at left renders the dramatic rocky cliffs and cave arch of Vyšehrad as seen from the Vltava River, with a vessel visible in the distance beneath the escarpment. To the right, an elaborate guilloche rosette forms the central decorative element, flanked by two colour-printed numeral panels bearing 1000 in violet against a contrasting background. The inscription VYŠEHRAD appears below the cliff vignette, with the issuing authority legend running vertically along the right margin. |

P#3 belongs to the first wave of Czech notes issued following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia on 1 January 1993 — a currency separation accomplished not by printing entirely new notes immediately, but by overstamping existing Czechoslovak stock with adhesive stamps bearing the Czech lion. This note was among those so treated, which is why the adhesive stamp appears as a listed security feature rather than an integrated one.
Albín Brunovský was a Slovak graphic artist, which made his commission for Czech national currency a small irony of the divorce. Engraver Miloš Ondráček worked directly for Státní Tiskárna Cenin, Prague's state security printer, which has held the Czech banknote contract continuously since the socialist period.
