| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in brown, pink, and green tones on a fine guilloche underprint, with an elaborate foliate border framing the entire design. The Imperial Ottoman tughra appears in a dark oval cartouche at the top centre, flanked by mirrored serial number panels reading 'No' on each side. At left, a circular medallion bears the denomination numeral '1' with the circular legend 'BANQUE IMPERIALE OTTOMANE / LIVRE TURQUE', while a corresponding square vignette at right carries the Arabic numeral '١'. The central field contains multiple lines of Ottoman Turkish text in Arabic script stating the bank's promise to pay, with the place of issue 'Constantinople' dated in the Islamic calendar, and three manuscript signatures appear across the lower portion above the imprint 'Remboursable a CONSTANTINOPLE' and the printer's name 'Waterlow & Sons Ltd, London Wall, London'. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Banque Impériale Ottomane's wartime issues of 1916 were a direct consequence of the Allied naval blockade, which effectively severed Constantinople's access to the French and Belgian printers the bank had relied on before the war. Waterlow & Sons stepped in as an alternative, producing several denominations under these constraints — an arrangement that makes the London origin of an Ottoman imperial note during a period of active hostilities between Britain and the Ottoman Empire one of the stranger logistical facts in the bank's printing history.
The "Law of August RC1332" designation follows the Ottoman fiscal calendar, Rumi — 1332 corresponding to 1916 in the Gregorian system. The watermark is the principal security feature, as the war years left little room for more elaborate protections.
