| Reverse description | Central field displays a highly detailed relief of a bee rendered in an archaic Ionian style, shown from above with spread wings, segmented abdomen, and stylised legs, evoking the celebrated bee imagery of ancient Ephesian coinage. The design is set within a slightly recessed inner field with a dotted border. The upper circular legend reads 'ANADOLU MEDENİYETLERİ' and the lower arc bears 'İYONLAR MÖ 1200-700', referencing the Ionian civilisation of Anatolia from approximately 1200 to 700 BC. The overall composition is inspired by archaic Greek and Ionian artistic conventions as preserved in ancient artefacts. |
