| Reverse description | A highly detailed frontal view of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Ayasofya-i Kebir Camii Şerifi) occupies the central field, depicting the iconic Byzantine dome flanked by four Ottoman minarets, with stylized clouds rendered in the upper field. The legend 'AYASOFYA-İ KEBİR CAMİİ ŞERİFİ' curves along the upper rim, while the date range '1453-2020' appears in the lower exergue, commemorating the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople and the mosque's reconversion. The architectural rendering is executed in fine proof relief against a mirror-polished field. |
