| Obverse description | A postage stamp converted to emergency currency, printed in green and red on buff cardboard with perforated edges on all sides. The central vignette shows a camel with rider set against a palm tree and cityscape with minarets in the background, enclosed within a geometric chain-link border. An octagonal cartouche in the upper right bears the Ottoman crescent and star emblem, while large black overprint text in Ottoman script across the face establishes the monetary denomination, accompanied by a red radiating-line underprint pattern. |
