| Obverse description | Printed in green, the obverse presents a central guilloche underprint within an ornate scrollwork border, with denomination numerals rendered in both Western and Arabic script at each corner. A lion passant guardant surmounting a crown forms the principal vignette to the right, a heraldic device characteristic of British Military Authority issues. The issuing authority legend runs across the upper portion in both English and Arabic. |
