| Obverse description | Close-up portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk seated at the helm of a tractor, depicted in right profile, rendered in a bold, stylised relief characteristic of mid-20th century Turkish coinage. The effigy emphasises Atatürk's role in modernising Turkish agriculture, in keeping with the FAO series theme. The legend ATATÜRK appears in the field, identifying the subject in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | Two crossed grain stalks — ears of wheat rendered in fine naturalistic relief — rise diagonally across the field, their stems intersecting at the centre to divide the design into quadrants. The denomination numeral 10 appears to the left, with the inscription KURUŞ below it, while the date 1971 is positioned to the right, all rendered in upright Latin characters. The overall composition reflects the FAO agricultural promotion theme common to this commemorative series. |
