| Obverse description | Plain paper ground bearing Ottoman Turkish manuscript inscriptions in Arabic script arranged in horizontal lines across the central field, with two large circular official seals (mühr) impressed in ink — one near the upper centre and one in the lower half. Handwritten numerals and text denote the denomination and issue details, with an additional cursive signature or authorization inscription below the upper seal. The overall layout reflects the hand-produced, document-style character of these earliest Ottoman paper money issues, known as Kaime. |

| Obverse lettering | كايمه ١٠٠٠ قروش |
| Reverse description | Nearly blank cream-white paper ground with a single cursive handwritten inscription in Ottoman Turkish script near the upper portion, and one circular impressed seal in the central field. A faint pale yellow discolouration is visible in the lower centre, consistent with aged paper. The reverse is otherwise unprinted, characteristic of the first Ottoman Kaime issues of 1840. |
