Obverse description Central field displays the denomination '20' above the legend 'Türk Lirası' and the date '2021', all enclosed within a wreath composed of wheat stalks to the left and olive branches to the right. The Turkish crescent and star emblem appears at the top of the inner field. The circular outer legend reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' along the upper arc and '· REPUBLIC OF TURKEY ·' along the lower arc, separated by raised dots. The mint mark of the Turkish State Mint (Darphane) appears below the date at the base of the inner field. The proof finish creates a sharp contrast between the mirrored field and the frosted design elements.

Reverse description A detailed architectural rendering of the Habib-i Neccar Mosque (Camii) in Antakya occupies the central field, depicted in three-quarter perspective and showing the mosque's characteristic single minaret to the left, a large ribbed central dome, a flat-roofed prayer hall with stone masonry, and a series of arched arcades along the base. The legend 'HABİB-İ NECCAR CAMİİ' arcs along the upper portion of the field in raised Latin lettering, while 'ANTAKYA' is inscribed along the lower exergue. The proof surface provides a stark mirror-like background that highlights the finely detailed relief of the historic Ottoman-era structure.
