| Obverse description | Printed in reddish-brown on cream stock, the obverse is centred on an ornate lobed cartouche with fine guilloche underprint, flanked at the upper left and right corners by denomination numeral '5' set within decorative frames. The Ottoman tughra occupies the top centre, with the date '22 Kânûn-i Evvel 1331' inscribed in Ottoman script beneath the heading, and series designation 'SÉRIE F' at centre left. Several lines of Ottoman Arabic script forming the promise-to-pay clause fill the lower portion, above a manuscript signature. |
