| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief effigy of a seated Turkish Angora cat (Ankara Kedisi) occupies the lower central field, rendered with exceptional naturalistic detail in its long-haired coat and bushy tail curled to the right. The cat faces slightly to the viewer's left, its distinctive heterochromatic eyes rendered with coloured inserts — the left eye in yellow and the right eye in blue — a hallmark trait of the breed. The curved legend 'ANKARA KEDİSİ' arches across the upper field in widely spaced Latin capitals. The mirrored proof field provides a strong contrast to the frosted sculptural relief of the animal. |
