The denomination '2 1/2' appears in large numerals at upper centre, with the Turkish text 'IKI BUCUK TÜRK LIRASI' below. The serial number and series designation appear twice, flanking a central vignette, with the issuing authority legend across the top panel and a legal clause inscription in smaller text at centre.
