| Obverse description | Central field features a wreath composed of two wheat ears on the left and an olive branch on the right, their stems crossed at the base, encircling the denomination '10.000 LIRA' inscribed in two lines at centre. The Turkish crescent and star emblem appears at the top of the wreath, flanked by the circular legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' running along the periphery. The engraver's mark appears at the lower centre of the field, just below the denomination. The overall design is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. |

| Reverse description | Central motif depicts a stylised dove of peace in flight set within a square frame oriented as a diamond, its wings outstretched and carrying an olive branch in its beak, rendered in high sculptural relief. The bilingual circular legend reads 'PEACE AT HOME PEACE IN THE WORLD' in English along the upper periphery, with the Turkish equivalent 'YURTTA SULH CİHANDA SULH' along the lower periphery, separated by decorative ornaments. The date '1986' is inscribed in the lower field beneath the central motif. The deeply mirrored proof surface provides a striking contrast to the frosted design elements. |
