| Obverse description | Concave field bearing a three-line Arabic-script inscription commemorating Ankara and the date 23 April 1336 (AH/Rumi), arranged vertically at center. A five-pointed star appears prominently at the top of the field, above the legend. The design is austere and calligraphic in character, with no portrait or figurative elements. The entire central device is set within a recessed, sunken field framed by a beaded border running along the coin's rim. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a bold multi-line Arabic-script inscription reading 'Türkiye Cumhuriyeti' (Republic of Turkey) in ornate Ottoman calligraphy, with the denomination numeral below. The inscription is enclosed within a wreath composed of oak branches on the left and wheat stalks on the right, tied at the base, a composition symbolic of national prosperity and strength. The wreath and legend are surrounded by a finely reeded outer border. The overall design reflects the transitional aesthetic of the early Turkish Republic, combining Ottoman calligraphic tradition with republican heraldic motifs. |
