| Obverse description | Printed predominantly in green and pink on cream paper, the obverse is composed entirely of dense Arabic calligraphic text arranged in horizontal registers across the face, framed by an intricate guilloche border. The Ottoman tughra appears at the upper centre, flanked by fraction denomination numerals (½) in green cartouches at each corner. Series letter and serial number are typeset in Latin characters at the mid-left and mid-right respectively, with two manuscript signature lines visible at the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is largely unprinted, presenting a plain off-white cotton paper surface with faint ghosting of the obverse design visible in areas of heavy ink strike-through. No distinct vignette, guilloche, or lettering is present on this side, consistent with the emergency wartime issue format of Ottoman Treasury notes of this period. |
