| Obverse description | The shield-shaped emblem of the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), featuring a crescent and star above a football, occupies the upper central field. The mint mark appears below the TFF emblem, accompanied by the date 2021, with the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' inscribed along the lower periphery. A circular legend reading 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' to the left and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' to the right runs along the outer border, separated by dot stops. |

| Additional information |
Beşiktaş Jimnastik Kulübü, founded in 1903 in the Istanbul waterfront district of the same name, is the oldest sports club in Turkey still operating under its original name. This piece was issued as part of the Darphane's ongoing licensed football club series, which has drawn consistent criticism from collectors for prioritizing commercial volume over mintage discipline — the series has expanded aggressively since the mid-2010s with little transparency around actual struck quantities.
