| Reverse description | The reverse features a dramatic astronomical depiction of Neptune as the dominant celestial body, rendered as a large sphere occupying the lower half of the field against a star-stippled deep-space background. Orbital arcs sweep across the upper portion of the design, with smaller planetary bodies shown along their trajectories in a schematic representation of the outer solar system. The inscription 'NEPTUN' appears in the upper left field in plain capital letters, serving as the sole legend on this face. |

| Additional information |
The "Neptun" series, launched by the Darphane in the early 2020s, was designed explicitly for the collector market rather than circulation — aluminium strikes sold in themed sets, with each denomination assigned a name from classical mythology. The choice of Neptune for this denomination follows no particular numismatic precedent; it was a branding decision by the mint's marketing division as Turkey expanded its bullion and collector coin program during a period of significant lira depreciation.
