Part of Turkey's ongoing sports club commemorative program, this piece honors Galatasaray S.K., founded in 1905 by Ali Sami Yen at the Galatasaray High School in Istanbul. The club's 2000 UEFA Cup and Super Cup double — the first and still only European silverware won by a Turkish football side — cemented an international profile that made it a natural subject for state coinage.
