| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in shades of brown and olive on cream paper, with an elaborate multi-bordered frame composed of geometric and floral guilloche patterns. The tughra of Sultan Mehmed VI appears at the top centre within an ornate cartouche. Large Arabic numerals '100' occupy the left and right panels, flanked by the French inscription '100 LIVRES TURQUES' in a decorative roundel at lower left. The central field carries the issuing authority's name in Arabic/Ottoman script, a date in the Islamic calendar (1334), and multi-line Ottoman text giving the legal tender promise, with a small circular seal below. |

The serial number appears at the top centre. Flanking the central text block, which contains several lines of Ottoman script setting out the note's legal conditions, are the denomination numerals '١٠٠' in dark green at lower left and right. Two short Ottoman legend lines appear at the bottom corners, and a manuscript signature is visible across the centre of the note. |
