Obverse description The obverse is dominated by a central crescent and star vignette printed in yellow, set within a plain white field surrounded by a dense guilloche border in red with a meander pattern. Two rectangular panels with Arabic script flank the central motif on the left and right, while further Arabic inscriptions appear in the lower register. Small denomination cartouches bearing Arabic numerals are set into the lower corners, and additional overprint stamps in green appear at the bottom left and right.
Obverse lettering ٢٠ تنگه
Reverse description The reverse carries the same yellow crescent and star as the central device, enclosed within arabesque side panels bearing Arabic script text. The denomination numeral '20' appears in teal-bordered cartouches at the outer left and right edges, with '25' numerals in orange-bordered cartouches adjacent to the central panel. A rectangular text block in Arabic script occupies the lower centre, and the overall border repeats the red meander guilloche pattern seen on the obverse.
