| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a large central guilloche medallion enclosing the national coat of arms in an arabesque vignette, flanked by symmetrical foliate scrollwork printed in red-brown on a pale green underprint. The numeral and text value appear in both Arabic-script and Cyrillic letterpress at the lower centre, with the Hijri date 1338 in Arabic numerals at lower right. A decorative ornamental cartouche panel occupies the right margin, repeating the coat of arms motif and the date. |

| Reverse description | The back presents an overall fine guilloche lattice ground in red-brown, within a meander border. Two principal decorative cartouches in a cusped ogival form are set side by side in the lower half, each containing Arabic-script inscriptions, while a larger lobed cartouche above carries additional text and a handstamped official seal. A watermark-like ghost impression of the obverse coat of arms panel is visible at left through the thin paper stock. |
