| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait vignette of King Gustav I Vasa (1521–1560), rendered in fine line engraving, occupies the right portion of the note, with the king shown in three-quarter view wearing a fur-trimmed robe and jewelled crown. A stylised bird's-eye cityscape rendered in multicolour underprint fills the centre-left background, overlaid with geometric compass-arc motifs. The denomination numeral '1000' appears in large characters at lower right and upper left, with the bank name 'SVERIGES RIKSBANK' inscribed vertically along the left margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an illustration drawn from Olaus Magnus's encyclopaedic work Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus (History of the Northern Peoples), first printed in Rome in 1555, rendered in a detailed pictorial vignette. The composition incorporates scenes of Nordic life, fauna, and geography characteristic of the woodcut imagery from that seminal cartographic and ethnographic publication. The denomination '1000' and the text 'ETT TUSEN KRONOR' are inscribed within the design. |
