| Obverse description | At center, the denomination and date are inscribed within a beaded circle, flanked by olive or laurel sprigs, with the Turkish crescent and star symbol above. The circular legend around the border reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ', with '1 KURUŞ' and '2015' prominently displayed in the central field. The overall design is rendered in a clean, modern style typical of Turkish commemorative coinage. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of Turkey's "Anatolian Civilizations" commemorative series, this piece honors the Western Huns — a nomadic confederation whose westward pressure across the Eurasian steppe in the late 4th century AD set off a cascade of migrations that contributed directly to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The series itself ran across multiple years and denominations, each assigned to a distinct polity from Anatolia's long and layered past.
The attribution "Western Hun Empire" is a modern historiographical convenience; the Huns left no coinage of their own.
