| Reverse description | A highly detailed naturalistic depiction of a Desert Monitor (Varanus griseus) rendered in high relief, the lizard shown in a coiled full-body pose occupying the majority of the field, its scaled texture and characteristic markings faithfully reproduced. The reptile's head faces right with open mouth, forelegs extended, and long sinuous tail curling upward toward the upper rim. The field surrounding the animal displays a rocky, textured desert ground. The legend 'ÇÖL VARANI' (Desert Monitor) is inscribed along the lower rim in incuse Latin lettering against the mirror-polished border. |
