| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in olive-green and brown tones on plain paper, with an elaborate guilloche border framing the central field. At the top centre, the Ottoman tughra seal is set within a cartouche, flanked by the denomination numeral '1000' in both Eastern Arabic and Western numerals at the upper corners. The central panel carries the Ottoman state title 'دولت عثمانيه' in large calligraphic script above a dark intaglio-printed arabesque cartouche bearing the main text of the note in Arabic script, with the serial number 'A2404' printed twice in the lower field alongside a manuscript signature. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in olive-green tones with a dense geometric guilloche border composed of interlocking rosette and lattice motifs at the corners and along the frame. A large central oval vignette contains multiple lines of Arabic-script text — the legal and redemption provisions of the note — set against a fine underprint. The denomination '1000' appears in Western numerals both at the top centre and at the lower centre, with 'LIVRES TURQUES' inscribed on the left border medallion and an Arabic circular seal cartouche on the right. |
