| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a large, elaborately detailed Ottoman galleon under full sail, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, with billowing sails, rigging, and an ornately decorated stern hull bearing a heraldic device. A smaller sailing vessel appears in the right middle ground, suggesting an open seascape. The curved legend 'BARBAROS HAYREDDİN PAŞA' arcs along the upper left border, while 'KAPTAN-I DERYA' continues along the upper right, with the date '1533' inscribed in the lower right field, commemorating the year Hayreddin Barbarossa was appointed Grand Admiral of the Ottoman fleet. |
