| Obverse description | Printed in black on cream paper, the note is enclosed within an elaborate rectangular border of interlocking floral and geometric scrollwork, with the numeral '10' set within circular cartouches at each corner. An oval sunburst vignette occupies the top centre, its radiating fine lines surmounted by a decorative crescent-form arch. The central field carries multi-line Ottoman calligraphic text in taʿlīq and naskh scripts conveying the denomination and treasury guarantee, with a circular tughra-style seal positioned at the base. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on plain cream paper and bears a single large circular ink seal at centre, densely inscribed with Ottoman calligraphic text serving as an official authentication stamp. The paper itself carries an embossed blind impression of guilloche scrollwork with an oval sunburst motif, visible as a watermark-style relief. The remainder of the surface is unprinted, with faint ornamental relief elements discernible in each quadrant. |
