| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Turkish national emblem of a large five-pointed star set within an upward-opening crescent moon, both rendered in high relief at the centre of the field. The crescent and star are enclosed within a raised circular border. The legend TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ (Republic of Turkey) arcs around the periphery in bold Latin capitals, reading from upper left to lower right. The coin is framed by a continuous toothed or beaded rim running the full circumference. The design is bold and emblematic, reflecting the modernist aesthetic of the early Turkish Republic. |

The central legend is flanked and framed by a decorative wreath of oak branches bearing heavily stylised acorns and acorn cups, arranged symmetrically on either side. A five-pointed star appears above the denomination, surmounting the design. The composition is enclosed within a toothed outer rim consistent with the obverse, and the overall arrangement is formal and heraldic in character. |
