| 正面描述 | Plain paper note hand-written in Arabic script, with the denomination cartouche at top centre in a decorative pointed frame. The body of the note carries a handwritten Arabic text promising payment from the treasury of Khartoum, dated and bearing an official Ottoman crescent-and-star circular seal at lower left. The note is countersigned at lower left by General Charles George Gordon, whose Latin-script signature appears below the Arabic text, alongside a second faint official stamp. |

Gordon issued these notes inside besieged Khartoum from March 1884 onward, as the Mahdist forces cut off all external supply and the city's treasury ran dry. They are among the very few examples in banknote history of a military commander personally signing emergency currency into existence under active siege conditions — Gordon's signature appears on each note as both authorization and guarantee, backed by nothing more than the promise of a relief column that never arrived in time.
Printed locally with whatever materials were available, the notes circulated within the city walls until the fall of Khartoum on 26 January 1885, when Gordon was killed. Survivors who escaped with notes had no issuing authority left to redeem them.
