The denomination numeral '5' is repeated on the right side within an ornamental frame, and the entire field is covered by an elaborate guilloche underprint of interlocking floral and geometric arabesques. A handwritten signature appears below the central text block. |

The Imperial Ottoman Bank — nominally a joint Anglo-French venture chartered in Constantinople — continued issuing notes through 1918 even as the Ottoman Empire was collapsing militarily on multiple fronts. This 5 Livres belongs to the final wartime series, issued under conditions of severe monetary stress: Ottoman currency had been inflating sharply since 1914, and public confidence in paper had eroded badly by the time these notes entered circulation.
The bank's dual nature — private European capital operating as a de facto central bank — made its notes politically awkward in the post-war partition period. Many were withdrawn rapidly after 1918 and destroyed, which affects surviving quantities today.
