| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face is enclosed within an ornate multi-lobed cartouche framed by dense arabesque guilloche borders in muted tones. The Ottoman tughra occupies the upper centre above the large calligraphic denomination numeral '1', flanked by crescent-and-star vignettes; the date in Ottoman numerals (١٣٣١ / 1333 AH) and a serial number printed in red appear twice at the lower centre. The printer's imprint of Giesecke & Devrient is rendered along the bottom margin. |

The Dette Publique Ottomane — the Ottoman Public Debt Administration — was a European-controlled financial body established in 1881 after the empire's 1875 debt default, giving creditor nations direct oversight of certain Ottoman revenues. That this institution, rather than a Ottoman state bank, issued emergency wartime currency in 1915 reflects the administrative chaos of the early war years and the fragmentation of Ottoman fiscal authority.
Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig printed the series, which created an immediate problem after the Allied naval blockade tightened: subsequent issues in this Pick sequence had to be sourced from different printers entirely, making the G&D-printed examples a distinct early production run.
