| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by an intricate teal and cream guilloche border with ornate corner medallions. The imperial toughra of Sultan Mehmed VI occupies the upper centre within a cartouche, below which a large central ogival panel contains the Arabic-script text of the denomination and issuing authority in calligraphic style. The numeral '2½' appears in both the left and right margins, with the serial number and a circular seal printed at the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a predominantly green and red guilloche underprint with a repeating decorative border. The central field contains a lengthy Arabic-script legal text — the promise-to-pay and penalty clauses — arranged in multiple lines within an ogival cartouche. Two circular seal impressions appear at the left and right of the text block, and a manuscript signature is visible below the text panel. The denomination '2½' is indicated in the upper left corner. |
