| Reverse description | The field depicts a facing bust portrait of Yusuf İsmail (Koca Yusuf), the celebrated Ottoman wrestler, wearing a traditional turban, with a prominent moustache. Below the portrait, a smaller full-figure vignette shows two wrestlers in active competition, set against a stylised crowd of spectators rendered in low relief. The birth and death years '1857' and '1898' flank the central composition at mid-field. The legend 'TÜRK SPOR İNSANI SERİSİ' curves along the upper arc, and the name 'KOCA YUSUF' is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
