| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a lively scene from Turkish folk tradition featuring Keloğlan, the beloved bald boy hero of Anatolian fairy tales, shown in full figure at left dressed in traditional baggy trousers and carrying a bundle on a stick over his shoulder. He walks alongside an unsaddled donkey, consistent with the folk verse theme of simplicity and honesty. In the background to the right, a rustic wooden barn and a large haystack are rendered in fine engraved detail, evoking a rural Anatolian setting. The legend 'KELOĞLAN' is inscribed vertically along the left rim in bold Latin characters. The engraver's initials 'ZG' appear discreetly in the right field. |
