| Reverse description | A large stylized soccer ball fills the central field, its pentagonal panel pattern rendered in relief. Superimposed at center is a full-length figure of a footballer in dynamic kicking pose, one leg raised with a ball to his right side. The circular legend '1986 DÜNYA FUTBOL ŞAMPİYONASI MEXİCO' surrounds the design along the rim, with two small decorative soccer ball motifs serving as separators at the lower field. The engraver's signature appears in small letters at the lower right of the central design. |

Turkey hosted no matches and fielded no team in the 1986 FIFA World Cup — the tournament was held entirely in Mexico. This coin was one of dozens of silver issues struck by mints worldwide capitalizing on the global licensing opportunity the competition presented, with Turkey's Darphane participating alongside mints from countries that had no competitive stake in the event whatsoever.
