| Reverse description | Finely detailed depiction of the Ottoman frigate Ertuğrul under full sail, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The vessel is shown in a three-quarter starboard view with all masts and sails set, rigging and deck details meticulously engraved, with stylised waves beneath the hull. The legend 'ERTUĞRUL FIRKATEYNİ' is inscribed in raised letters along the upper arc of the coin. The commemorative dates '1890-2015' appear in the lower exergue, marking the 125th anniversary of the frigate's tragic loss off the coast of Japan. |
