Descrizione del dritto	The obverse is uniface, printed in green on plain paper. The imperial toughra of Sultan Mehmed V is centred at the upper portion of the note, flanked on both sides by the fractional denomination '1/4' within ornamental cartouches. The field is filled with dense Ottoman calligraphic text arranged in multiple registers, set against an intricate guilloche underprint of scrollwork and foliate arabesques; the series designation 'SÉRIE D' appears at the lower left alongside the serial number at the lower right.

Commenti	The Ottoman wartime paper issues of 1915 were a direct consequence of the empire's inability to maintain metallic currency in circulation once World War I began. Coin hoarding was immediate and severe, forcing the Hazine-i Maliye to flood the market with fractional notes to handle everyday transactions. The quarter-livre sat at the bottom of the series, intended for small commerce, but the public's distrust of government paper — earned through decades of Ottoman financial instability — meant many were simply tucked away rather than spent. These low-denomination notes suffered disproportionate attrition when they did circulate, passing through many hands quickly. The wartime printing quality was inconsistent throughout the series.
