| Obverse description | Central rectangular panel depicts Atatürk seated at the controls of a tractor in the field, rendered in relief against a stippled background, evoking the FAO theme of agricultural modernization. The inscription ATATÜRK appears in the exergue of the central panel. The circular legend TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI runs along the upper periphery, while SABAN KILICTAN ÜSTÜNDÜR (The Plough is Mightier than the Sword) curves along the lower periphery, both in raised Latin lettering. |
