The denomination numeral '20' is inscribed in large Ottoman script below the sunburst, surrounded by multiple lines of Ottoman Turkish text stating the note's legal tender status and value. A circular official tughra seal of the Imperial Treasury is applied at the lower centre, and the entire composition is enclosed within an ornate typeset border with additional marginal inscriptions on all four sides. |
