| Reverse description | The brass centre depicts a full-bodied male Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) standing in left profile against a naturalistic background featuring a circular sun or rocky outcrop motif and a mountain range in the middle distance. Vegetation including grasses and shrubs frames the animal in the lower field and along the flanks. The legend 'ASYA ASLANI' (Asian Lion) arcs along the upper portion of the outer copper-nickel ring. The composition renders the endangered subspecies with fine naturalistic detail, consistent with the Turkish State Mint's endangered wildlife commemorative series. |
