| Obverse description | The obverse features the Turkish State Mint emblem — a crescent and star device — at the apex of the central field, flanked by two crossed wheat ears and an olive branch forming a wreath-like composition. At centre, the denomination '15' appears in large numerals above the legend 'Türk Lirası' and the date '2016', with the mint mark below. The bilingual circular legend reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' along the upper rim and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' along the lower rim, all in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely engraved dragonfly in flight at centre-right, rendered with exceptional detail in its finely veined wings spread horizontally across the field. Behind the insect, concentric circular ripples suggest a water surface, with a stylised water lily pad visible to the upper right. To the left, an elegantly modelled flowering branch bearing blossoms and leaves in high relief occupies the left portion of the field. The Turkish word 'YUSUFÇUK' (meaning dragonfly) appears as a legend in the lower right of the field in Latin script. |
