| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of a 16th-century Ottoman sailing vessel occupies the central field, shown in profile with full rigging and sails, rendered in fine relief evoking the cartographic and maritime legacy of the Ottoman admiral and cartographer Piri Reis. The legend 'PIRI REIS' appears along the upper left periphery, with his birth and death years '1470-1554' inscribed to the upper right. The composition fills the coin face to the reeded edge, conveying historical gravitas appropriate to this commemorative issue. |
