| Reverse description | A highly detailed architectural view of the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief. The composition faithfully depicts the mosque's characteristic silhouette: a large central dome flanked by subsidiary semi-domes and smaller domes, surrounded by four slender fluted minarets rising prominently at the corners of the complex. The lower portion of the field shows the courtyard and ancillary structures of the complex in accurate perspective. Below the architectural motif, the two-line legend 'EDİRNE / SELİMİYE CAMİİ' is inscribed in the exergue area. The mirror-polished proof field provides strong contrast to the finely engraved architectural details. |
