| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing bust portrait of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (Kanuni Sultan Süleyman) dominates the field, depicted wearing an elaborate Ottoman kaftan with ornate embroidery and a tall plumed ceremonial turban with tassels. The portrait is rendered in high relief in a painterly style after a period miniature likeness. The curved legend 'KANUNİ SULTAN SÜLEYMAN' arcs across the upper field, while the birth year '1495' appears to the left and the death year '1566' to the right of the portrait, each flanked by small decorative rosette stops. |
