| Reverse description | A highly detailed depiction of the historic Erzurum Clock Tower (Erzurum Saat Kulesi) dominates the field, rendered in strong relief. The tower is shown rising from a sturdy rusticated stone base, its cylindrical shaft adorned with a prominent circular clock face at mid-height, and crowned by an ornate open colonnade lantern with a domed roof. The legend 'ERZURUM SAAT KULESİ' is inscribed in raised Latin capitals arcing along the upper border of the oval field. The proof surface accentuates the fine architectural detail of the masonry and decorative elements of the tower. |
