Arabic inscriptions identify the bank and denomination across the upper and middle registers, with two manuscript signatures below the central arch. The entire note is bordered by an intricate geometric guilloche pattern with repeating arch and column motifs in red and green, with serial numbers and check letter positioned in the outer corners. |
