| Reverse description | Central device depicts a detailed frontal view of the Mahmut Bey Mosque in Kastamonu, a 14th-century wooden mosque renowned for its exceptional carved timber interior, shown with its characteristic stone masonry facade, arched entrance portal, and single minaret rising to the right. The architectural rendering captures the mosque's distinctive Anatolian Seljuk-era style. The legend 'MAHMUTBEY CAMİİ' appears to the upper left and 'KASTAMONU' to the upper right within the inner circle. The border is decorated with a repeated geometric Seljuk-style meander ornamental band encircling the entire design. |
