| Obverse description | The obverse features a central medallion depicting a stylised landscape or architectural scene — likely the Bosphorus Bridge — framed by an elaborate scalloped border with radiating engine-turned guilloche patterns and a ring of stars. The year 2003 appears in the upper portion of the central field. Surrounding the medallion, the outer ring carries the multilingual trial legend PRUEBA · TRIAL · ESSAI · PROBE interspersed with four circled star and crescent symbols at the cardinal points. The lower arc bears the inscription TÜRKIYI CUMHURIYETI, identifying the issuing authority as the Republic of Turkey. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is modelled closely on the standard euro cent design format. A large numeral 10 dominates the left and centre of the field, with diagonal lines radiating across the background suggesting the globe motif used on euro coinage. To the right, a robed equestrian figure — a king or ruler mounted on a rearing horse — is depicted in fine relief, evoking a classical or medieval sovereign image proposed for a Turkish euro cent design. Twelve five-pointed stars are arranged around the upper and lower rim. The denomination legend 10 C and the word SPECIMEN appear within an oval cartouche at the base of the euro symbol. |
