| Obverse description | Printed in blue-grey on cream paper with a central multicolour guilloche rosette underprint in rose and olive tones. The Imperial tughra of Sultan Mehmed V is set within an oval cartouche at the top centre, flanked by ornate arabesque corner pieces and a continuous interlaced border. The denomination numeral '1' appears in octagonal panels at left and right, with the title inscription in Ottoman Arabic script across the upper centre, the law date '6 Ağustos 1332' below, and a hand-signed manuscript signature above the bottom panel bearing the issuer's name in Ottoman script. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green on a plain cream ground, the reverse is dominated by a large central cartouche with scalloped edges enclosing a multi-line Ottoman Arabic text setting out the legal tender conditions and redemption terms of the note. A small calligraphic oval vignette surmounts the cartouche at the top centre, and a manuscript signature appears below the text block. The cartouche is surrounded by an elaborate guilloche wreath with floral and arabesque motifs, the whole composition left unframed against the unprinted background. |
