The circumferential legend reads 'TÜRK HAVA YOLLARI'NIN KURULUŞ YILDÖNÜMÜ' (Anniversary of the Establishment of Turkish Airlines).

| Additional information |
Turkey issued this commemorative in 2013 to mark the 80th anniversary of Turkish Airlines, founded in 1933 as Devlet Hava Yolları with a fleet of five aircraft. The airline's founding predates the Istanbul Atatürk Airport itself — the carrier was operating before its primary hub existed in any modern sense.
