| Obverse description | Central field depicts a large, roughly hewn limestone pillar or stele from Göbekli Tepe, upon which a snarling feline predator — rendered in the archaic relief style characteristic of the Neolithic site — is shown in profile with open jaws, its body textured to evoke the carved stone surface. The animal's powerful haunches and clawed forelimbs are rendered in high relief against the stone background. The mint mark appears below the date '2019' in the lower central field. The peripheral legend, separated from the inner field by a raised border, reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' to the left and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' to the right, with the Turkish crescent-and-star emblem at the top; the denomination '20 Türk Lirası' appears along the lower border, flanked by decorative dots. |
