| Reverse description | The central field depicts a lively scene from the famous Nasreddin Hodja folktale 'Ye Kürküm Ye' (Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds), showing the bearded, turbaned figure of Nasreddin Hodja seated at a laden table and gesturing toward his fur coat as if feeding it, with other figures present in the background before a stone wall engraved with the text of the anecdote. The composition is rendered in high relief with contrasting antique bronze surfaces. The upper border carries the legend 'YE KÜRKÜM YE' and the lower border reads 'NASREDDİN HOCA' in Latin script. |
