| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed scenic composition depicting the official festival mascot, a stylized anthropomorphic fish character wearing a sports cap and carrying a tennis racket, standing at the prow of a traditional wooden boat on a stylized sea. Surrounding the mascot is an array of sports equipment including footballs, basketballs, a volleyball, and other implements, referencing the multisport nature of the festival. In the upper field, the bilingual legend AVRUPA GENÇLİK OLİMPİK OYUNLARI curves along the top rim, with EUROPEAN YOUTH OLIMPIC FESTIVAL inscribed beneath it in a secondary arc, and the host city name TRABZON prominently displayed across the upper central field. The overall composition is rendered in high relief against a lightly textured field, finished in antique bronze. |

| Additional information |
Turkey hosted the first-ever Winter Youth Olympic Games in Erzurum in February 2011 — the inaugural edition of an IOC event created specifically for athletes aged 14 to 18. This bronze commemorative was issued in direct connection with that hosting role, making it one of the few Turkish coins tied to a genuinely first-instance international sporting event rather than a recurring one.
