| Reverse description | Central field depicts a detailed frontal view of the Sultan Han caravanserai gateway in Kayseri, a prominent Seljuk-era stone structure featuring pointed arched portals, flanking towers, and coursed ashlar masonry. The upper field above the gate is filled with an intricate geometric and floral lattice pattern reminiscent of Anatolian Seljuk tile and stonework ornamentation, rendered against a darkened oxidized background that provides strong contrast. The lower field contains the inscriptions in three lines: İPEK YOLU TÜRKİYE, SULTAN HAN, and KAYSERİ, identifying the subject and its geographic location. |
