| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the denomination numeral '1' above the inscription 'KURUŞ' and date '2018', flanked on either side by stylized wheat ears. The outer border carries the circular legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' interrupted at the top by the Turkish crescent and star emblem. A small mint mark appears below the date. The overall design is rendered in a clean, modern relief typical of Turkish commemorative coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts a detailed naturalistic group of three Pygmy Cormorants (Microcarbo pygmaeus) perched on rocky outcrops, with two adult birds standing upright and one bird shown in a lower position among the rocks, all rendered in fine relief. The arc legend 'ANADOLU'YA ÖZGÜ KUŞLAR' curves along the upper border, while 'KÜÇÜK KARABATAK' is inscribed along the lower arc, identifying the species. The composition is framed within a plain inner circle, with the birds as the sole decorative motif against a smooth field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued as part of Turkey's "Animals in Danger" series, this piece belongs to a multi-year program by the Turkish State Mint aimed at drawing attention to species threatened within Anatolian and Thracian ecosystems. The Pygmy Cormorant (*Microcarbo pygmaeus*) breeds along Turkey's wetlands, particularly around the Kızılırmak Delta, where drainage and agricultural encroachment have steadily reduced viable habitat since the 1970s.
The 1 Kuruş face value rendered these coins essentially non-circulating from issue — a fraction of the smallest practical transaction in modern Turkey.
