| Reverse description | Detailed architectural view of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Ayasofya-i Kebir Camii Şerifi) in Istanbul, depicted in high relief from a frontal perspective. The composition shows the iconic central dome flanked by four slender Ottoman minarets, with subsidiary semi-domes and ancillary structures rendered in careful detail across the lower field. Birds in flight and stylized clouds appear in the sky above the building. The curved legend 'AYASOFYA-İ KEBİR CAMİİ ŞERİFİ' arcs along the upper rim, while the dates '1453-2020' are inscribed in the lower exergue, commemorating the conversion of the monument to a mosque. |
