| Obverse description | The tughra of Sultan Mehmed V is positioned at upper centre within a medallion, flanked by the denomination numerals '1000' in the upper left and right corners. The central field carries the Arabic inscription of 'Devlet-i Aliyye-i Osmaniye' in large calligraphic script, with additional Arabic text panels below set against a fine guilloche underprint. An ornate geometric border of interlaced arabesque motifs frames the entire note, with rosette cornerpieces and a serial number panel bearing the alphanumeric prefix printed at lower left and right. |

The denomination '1000' appears in Arabic-Indic numerals at upper centre and in Western numerals at lower centre, both framed by decorative geometric rosettes. The surrounding border repeats the interlaced arabesque motif seen on the obverse, with floral cornerpiece medallions and the 'LIVRES TURQUES' inscription visible on the left margin. |
