| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and presents a central vignette of the Sultanahmet Square in Constantinople, with the Hagia Sophia mosque and the Egyptian Obelisk visible in a detailed letterpress rendering. The design is framed by an ornate border with arabesque corner motifs and a crescent-and-star device at the upper centre. The denomination '10' appears in Arabic numerals in the lower lateral panels, and Ottoman Turkish legends are inscribed in the upper and lower registers. The image shown is an uncut block of four notes. |
