| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder and first President of the Turkish Republic, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and strong facial features. The portrait occupies the central field, engraved by Percy Metcalfe in a clean, modernist style characteristic of early Republican Turkish coinage. The circular legend reads TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI (Republic of Turkey), distributed along the periphery in bold Latin capitals. A fine dentilated border frames the entire design. |
