| Reverse description | The central field is similarly divided by a sweeping diagonal line into two distinct registers: the upper register features a highly detailed relief depiction of Hoşap Castle (Hoşap Kalesi), the imposing 17th-century Kurdish fortress perched dramatically atop a rocky promontory in Van province, with its crenellated towers and curtain walls rendered with architectural precision, accompanied by a stylized lotus or water lily blossom in the left field. The lower register depicts the waters of the Hoşap Stream with undulating wave patterns and aquatic flora in low relief. The province name VAN and the inscription HOŞAP KALESİ appear in the upper legend area of the field. |
