| Reverse description | A finely detailed portrait bust of Muhsin Ertuğrul (1892–1979), the pioneering Turkish theatre and film director, fills the central field, facing slightly to the left and rendered in high sculptural relief. The subject is depicted in a suit and tie, with a naturalistic, expressive treatment of facial features conveying gravitas and artistic distinction. Behind the portrait, lightly incuse theatrical stage curtains are visible, reinforcing the subject's association with the performing arts. The legend 'MUHSİN ERTUĞRUL' is inscribed along the upper left arc of the coin, while the birth and death years '1892-1979' appear in the lower exergue. The design is set within a raised rim with a polished field typical of proof-quality commemorative issues. |
