| Obverse description | Central motif depicting a traditional Turkish saz (long-necked lute) rendered in high relief against a plain inner field, with the crescent and star emblem of Turkey incorporated into the design. Surrounding the central device, concentric bands of musical staff lines and scattered musical notes fill the annular field, evoking the folk music tradition associated with the coin's subject. The circular legend along the upper periphery reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' and 'REPUBLIC OF TÜRKİYE', with the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' and the date '2023' completing the inscriptions in the field. The antiqued silver finish accentuates the relief elements and gives the composition a rich tonal depth. |
