| Reverse description | A detailed architectural rendering of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Ayasofya-i Kebir Camii Şerifi) dominates the field, depicted in a three-quarter frontal perspective showing its central dome, semi-domes, buttresses, and four minarets rising at the corners. Stylised clouds and birds in flight are visible in the upper background, conveying an open sky above the historic structure. The curved legend 'AYASOFYA-İ KEBİR CAMİİ ŞERİFİ' arcs along the upper rim in Latin script. The date range '1453-2020' appears in the lower exergue, commemorating the year of Ottoman conquest of Constantinople and the coin's year of issue. |
