| Obverse description | Printed on plain white paper in a vertical format, the note bears Ottoman Turkish text in naskh and divani scripts arranged in horizontal bands across the face. Two circular tughra seal impressions appear at upper centre and lower left, with a larger circular Ottoman official seal at lower centre bearing Arabic calligraphic inscriptions. Manuscript notations in Ottoman script are interspersed between the printed text lines, consistent with the hand-completed kaime treasury note format of the Tanzimat-era first paper money issue. |
