1 Kuruş

Obverse description	The central field bears the national emblem of the Turkish Republic: a crescent moon open to the right with a five-pointed star contained within its arc, both rendered in bold relief. The legend 'TÜRKİYE' arcs across the upper periphery and 'CUMHURİYETİ' curves along the lower periphery, together reading 'Republic of Turkey' in Latin script. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border running along the full circumference of the coin. The composition is clean and emblematic, reflecting the modernising aesthetic adopted by the early Turkish Republic. The engraving is attributed to Percy Metcalfe.

Reverse description	The denomination '1 KURUŞ' is displayed prominently in the central field, enclosed within a stylised decorative frame characteristic of Percy Metcalfe's design vocabulary, evoking the form of a traditional vessel or amphora rendered through interlacing olive branches and foliate ornament. The mint year appears below the denomination within the same decorative surround. The overall reverse composition is symmetrical and strongly Art Deco in character, consistent with Metcalfe's work for the early Turkish Republican coinage series.
