| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an intricate guilloche framework in warm brown tones, with elaborate arabesque scrollwork filling all four corners and borders. At the centre, a large radiate rosette surrounds an oval cartouche bearing the Ottoman imperial tughra, flanked on each side by smaller sunburst rosettes enclosing oval medallions with Ottoman script inscriptions. A horizontal Ottoman text band runs across the upper portion of the note, with additional script panels and a circular seal positioned at the lower centre. |
