Reverse description A finely detailed high-relief effigy of an Anatolian leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana) depicted in full profile, standing and facing left with its characteristic spotted pelage rendered in precise sculptural detail. The animal occupies the central and lower field, its long tail curving upward to the right. The legend 'ANADOLU PARSI' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering. The background field is plain and mirror-polished, creating a striking contrast with the frosted relief of the animal. The composition emphasises the power and rarity of this critically endangered subspecies native to Anatolia.
