| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown tones and centred on a large ornate medallion with radiating guilloche work, flanked symmetrically by two circular side rosettes each bearing the numeral "100". An Arabic cartouche with the bank's Ottoman inscription occupies the centre of the medallion, with the legend "LIVRES" arching above and "TURQUES" below in curved letterpress. The overall design is restrained relative to the obverse, with plain margins framing the central vignette. |
