| Obverse description | Central field depicts the Gaziantep War of Independence Monument, featuring a tall obelisk-style column rising before the historic Gaziantep Castle, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished background. Cannons and stepped platforms flank the base of the monument, with the castle battlements and a small Turkish flag visible in the background. The Turkish crescent and star emblem appears at the top of the surrounding legend. A bilingual circular legend reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' on the left and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' on the right, with the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' inscribed along the lower border. The date '2021' and the mint mark are incused in the right field. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a large crescent and five-pointed star motif in high relief against a mirror-polished field, symbolising the Turkish national emblem and evoking the heroic resistance of Gaziantep during the Turkish War of Independence. A circular legend in Latin script surrounds the design, divided into four segments separated by bullet points. The inscriptions commemorate the centenary of Gaziantep's honorary title of 'Gazi' (veteran warrior), awarded on 8 February 1921. The city name 'GAZİANTEP' appears prominently at lower right within the legend. |
