| Obverse description | Printed on coarse cotton fabric in red-orange ink, the obverse is organised around a central cartouche with a cusped ogival frame enclosing two lines of Arabic-script text, surmounted by a crescent-and-sun vignette. Four circular medallions with Arabic inscriptions are arranged symmetrically around the central cartouche, and the denomination '200' appears in the upper right corner alongside further Arabic lettering. The lower register carries four smaller lobed panels with additional inscriptions, the whole composition printed by a simple letterpress technique on the undyed fabric ground. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, likewise printed on cotton fabric in red-orange letterpress ink, presents a more open layout with a large central lobed vignette containing Arabic text, flanked by a crescent-and-sun device in the upper right quadrant. Six circular medallions of varying sizes, each bearing Arabic inscriptions, are distributed across the field, with two additional rectangular or arched panels in the left register. A signature or manuscript panel appears beneath the left arch, completing the handcrafted character of this emergency issue. |
