| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in brown and tan tones on a cream paper ground, with an elaborate geometric guilloche border framing the central field. A large oval cartouche at centre carries the Ottoman tughra at its apex, flanked by the Arabic-script title of the Dette Publique Ottomane and the date in Ottoman numerals; the denomination 100 appears in Western numerals at upper left, lower left, and lower right within ornate foliate cornerpieces. The overall layout reflects the intricate arabesque style typical of late Ottoman fiscal documents. |
