| Obverse description | A detailed frontal architectural view of the Çinili Köşk (Tiled Kiosk), a 15th-century Ottoman pavilion situated within the Topkapı Palace grounds in Istanbul, depicted in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The structure's characteristic arcade of pointed arches, central dome, and flanking minarets are rendered with fine architectural precision. The legend TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ arcs along the upper periphery, flanked on each side by a crescent-and-star device. The inscription ÇİNİLİ KÖŞK appears in the lower field beneath the building, with the denomination 15.000.000 LİRA and the date 2003 completing the lower legend. |
