| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, naturalistic rendering of a long-eared desert hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus) depicted in three-quarter profile facing right, its characteristic elongated ears clearly visible and its dense spiny coat rendered with meticulous engraving. The animal rests upon a rocky desert ground rendered in textured relief, occupying the central field against a deeply mirrored proof background. The Turkish inscription 'UZUN KULAKLI KİRPİ' (Long-eared Hedgehog) arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The engraver's signature appears in small script at the lower left of the central device. |
