| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of brown and rose-pink on cream paper, enclosed within an elaborate arabesque guilloche border with foliate corner ornaments. The imperial tughra of Sultan Mehmed V appears in a cartouche at the top centre, flanked by two circular denomination medallions bearing the numeral '1' in Ottoman script. A central multicolour guilloche rosette underprint in green and red carries the main Ottoman Turkish text inscription, with the Rumi date '١٣٣٢' (1332) and the law reference appearing across the middle field; alphanumeric serial numbers are printed in black at lower left and right, and a manuscript signature appears below the central text block. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in monochrome brown on plain cream paper and is dominated by a large symmetrical guilloche medallion composed of interlocking floral and foliate rosette patterns radiating from the centre. A central cartouche with a lobed ogival frame encloses a lengthy Ottoman Turkish legal text setting out the note's guarantee and legal tender conditions, printed in clear naskh script across six lines. A manuscript signature line appears below the text cartouche, and the overall composition is unadorned save for the intricate engine-turned surround. |
