| Reverse description | The reverse features a detailed narrative scene in low relief depicting Nasreddin Hoca, the celebrated Anatolian folk sage, shown as a turbaned, robed figure at left playing a wind instrument (düdük/whistle) while seated or crouching. Before him stand three children in traditional dress, engaged in animated interaction, with a rustic village house, trees, and clouds rendered in the background. The name 'NASREDDİN HOCA' is inscribed along the upper arc of the inner border, while the Turkish proverb 'PARAYI VEREN DÜDÜĞÜ ÇALAR' curves along the lower arc, the whole composition executed in a folk-art illustrative style characteristic of Turkish commemorative coinage. |
