| Reverse description | Central motif presents a draped bust of Afife Jale facing slightly left, rendered in frosted relief against a mirror-polished field, with short wavy hair and a scarf at the neck. The bust is framed on either side by stylised theatrical stage curtains in high relief, evoking her pioneering role as the first female Turkish theatre actress. A curved banner across the lower portion of the bust bears the inscription 'İLK KADIN TİYATRO SANATÇIMIZ' (Our First Female Theatre Artist). Below the bust, in the lower field, the subject's name 'AFİFE JALE' and her life dates '1902-1941' are inscribed in bold serif lettering. |
