| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in olive-green and reddish-brown tones on plain paper with perforated edges reminiscent of postage stamp format. A central vignette depicts a camel rider beside palm trees against a radiating sunburst motif in the upper field, enclosed within an ornate arabesque border with interlacing guilloche work. An octagonal imperial tughra cartouche occupies the upper right corner, with Ottoman Arabic inscriptions running along the upper and lower panels. |
