1000 Cape Verde Escudo Banknote (Code Di Dona)

1,000 Escudos Escudo (Issued 2014)

The 1,000 Escudos banknote represented a significant denomination in Cabo Verde’s economy during the 2014–2024 period, serving as a practical tool for everyday transactions and larger commercial exchanges across the island nation. This denomination facilitated commerce in both urban and rural settings, enabling individuals and businesses to conduct routine financial dealings with a single note rather than multiple smaller denominations. The banknote symbolised the modernisation of Cabo Verde’s currency design, reflecting the country’s commitment to updated security standards and contemporary aesthetic values whilst maintaining cultural identity.

On the front, the banknote displays a striking portrait rendered in rich tones of blue, pink, and purple across a gradient background. The portrait occupies the right-centre portion of the note and shows detailed facial features and expressive detail characteristic of modern engraving techniques. To the left, large text reading “1000 ESCUDOS” appears in dark navy blue lettering. The upper left corner features “BANCO DE CABO VERDE” printed in matching blue text. A vertical red security strip runs along the left edge with the denomination “1000” repeated vertically in red ink. Central design elements include a stylised musical instrument motif and geometric patterns rendered in subtle guilloché work. Musical notation appears as decorative elements, reflecting Cabo Verde’s rich cultural heritage. The date “5 de Julho de 2014” is visible in the centre area. Signatures of officials appear in the lower central section, with “O Governador” and “O Administrador” designations visible. The serial number “EJ809852” appears in blue on the right edge. Fine-line security patterns and microtext elements are integrated throughout the design in varying colours.

The reverse of the banknote features a predominantly blue and pink gradient background with the denomination “1000” displayed prominently in large numerals across the centre. A detailed image of hands working with traditional crafts or fishing nets occupies the right-centre area, rendered in the same colour palette with subtle gradation. A white dove symbol appears on the left side, representing peace and cultural significance. The text “BANCO DE CABO VERDE” is positioned in the upper right in burgundy lettering, with “MIL ESCUDOS” printed below in matching burgundy colour. The reverse incorporates sophisticated security patterns throughout, including geometric designs and fine-line elements visible when the note is held to light. The paper exhibits a subtle off-white tone with integrated security features visible as watermark elements and colour-shifting sections that transition between blue, pink, and yellow tones depending on viewing angle.
