Reverse description The nickel silver inner disc displays a finely detailed relief of an African darter (Anhinga rufa), known in Turkish as 'Yılanboyun Kuşu', depicted in left-facing profile standing upright on a wooden post or branch stump, its long serpentine neck and elongated bill rendered with naturalistic precision. The smooth field of the inner disc provides a plain background to the bird motif. The outer brass ring carries the series legend 'ANADOLU'YA ÖZGÜ KUŞLAR' (Birds of Anatolia) at the top and the species name 'YILANBOYUN KUŞU' at the bottom, both in raised Latin lettering.
