| Obverse description | The tughra of the reigning sultan occupies an octagonal cartouche at the top centre, surmounting a large central oval with Arabic text inscriptions stating the denomination and issuing authority. Two circular medallions flank the central text block, the left bearing the Western numeral '200' and the right its Arabic-script equivalent, all set against an intricate guilloche underprint with ornate floral borders. Serial numbers appear at the upper left and right corners, a panel at lower left reads 'Remboursable à SMYRNE' indicating the branch of payment, and a large 'ANNULÉ' cancellation overprint is applied across the face. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red-brown and green, centred on a large oval guilloche underprint with the denomination numeral '200' at its centre. The inscription 'BANQUE IMPÉRIALE OTTOMANE' arcs across the upper portion of the central oval in red letterpress, with Arabic script text at the lower portion of the oval. An ornate geometric and floral guilloche border frames the entire note, with decorative corner pieces and a repeating green border pattern along the outer edges. |
