Obverse description The obverse features a central circular hole surrounded by a plain raised ring, with the legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' (Republic of Turkey) arching around the upper portion of the field in bold incuse lettering. The date appears in the lower portion of the field, beneath the central hole. The design is stark and utilitarian, with no additional decorative elements, relying entirely on the inscriptions to fill the annular field.

Reverse description The reverse displays the numeral '1' to the left of the central hole and the denomination inscription 'KURUŞ' below, both rendered in bold raised lettering. A gracefully curved wheat stalk arcs from the upper left over the top of the central hole and sweeps downward to the right, its ear of grain depicted in fine detail at the tip. The composition of the grain stalk curving around the perforation creates a dynamic and elegant design within the annular field.
