| Obverse description | Central field features the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' and the date '2015' inscribed vertically within an open wreath composed of wheat ears to the left and olive branches to the right. The Turkish crescent and star device appears above the denomination at the top of the inner field. The Turkish State Mint privy mark is struck below the date. A raised circular border separates the inner device from the outer legend, which reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' along the upper arc and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' along the lower arc in Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a three-quarter facing bust of Esma Deniz, Turkey's first female nurse (1902–1997), depicted wearing her nursing cap adorned with a crescent motif and her characteristic spectacles. The portrait occupies the left and centre of the field against a deeply mirrored proof background, lending dramatic contrast to the finely modelled relief. The curved legend 'İLK KADIN HEMŞİREMİZ' arcs along the upper border, translating as 'Our First Female Nurse'. Below the portrait, the name 'ESMA DENİZ' and her life dates '1902–1997' are inscribed in the lower field in Latin characters. |
