| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an intricate all-over guilloche and geometric underprint in green, orange, and brown, inspired by traditional Moorish and Islamic decorative motifs. Two large stylised crescent-like ornamental vignettes flank a central blank reserve panel, framed by interlocking geometric borders with fine arabesque detail. The bank title in Arabic script runs along the top border, the denomination in Arabic calligraphy appears at centre-left, and the date with two signature lines and their Arabic-script titles are printed below. |
