The bird is rendered in fine relief against a smooth field, capturing the characteristic upright posture and long legs of the species. The upper legend 'ANADOLU'YA ÖZGÜ KUŞLAR' arcs along the inner border, while the lower legend 'ÇÖL KOŞARI' is inscribed in raised Latin lettering across the lower portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of Turkey's ongoing wildlife conservation series, this aluminium kuruş issue belongs to a broader program the Darphane launched to spotlight species native to or migratory through Anatolia. The cream-colored courser, a fast-running bird of arid steppes, breeds across a range stretching from the Canary Islands to Central Asia, with Turkish populations concentrated in the southeastern plains near the Syrian border — habitat that has faced sustained pressure from agricultural expansion.
