| Obverse description | The obverse is enclosed within an ornate guilloche border incorporating floral and interlace underprint elements in green and brown tones. A large central cartouche bears multiple lines of Ottoman Turkish text in stylized Arabic script, stating the denomination and issuer authority. The overall layout is symmetrical, with decorative framing typical of late nineteenth-century Ottoman currency production. |
