| Obverse description | Central depiction of an Ottoman galley rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field, the vessel shown in left-facing profile with furled lateen yards, multiple masts flying pennants, and detailed hull planking suggesting movement on stylized waves. The Turkish crescent-and-star emblem appears at the top of the coin between the two-part legend. The bilingual circular legend reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' along the left arc and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' along the right arc. The date '2018' appears in the lower exergual area, with the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' inscribed below, flanked by two raised dots. A small mint mark is visible beneath the date. |

| Reverse description | Right-facing bust of Oruç Reis (Aruj Barbarossa), the celebrated Ottoman corsair and admiral, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The effigy depicts him wearing a voluminous Ottoman turban with layered folds and a jewelled ornament at the crown, a full beard, and a draped robe with chain detailing at the collar. The portrait is enclosed within a recessed circular border rendered in a rope-like pattern. The inscription 'ORUÇ REİS' arcs across the upper left of the field, and the dates '1474-1518' arc across the upper right, both in Latin lettering. |
