| Reverse description | Detailed architectural view of the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque (Ayasofya-i Kebir Camii Şerifi) rendered in high relief, depicting the great central dome flanked by four slender minarets, with subsidiary semi-domes and the complex roofline of the historic structure occupying the central field. Stylized clouds and birds in flight appear above the dome, conveying a sense of atmosphere and grandeur. The upper arc carries the Ottoman-style inscription 'AYASOFYA-İ KEBİR CAMİİ ŞERİFİ' in raised lettering. The dates '1453-2020' are inscribed along the lower rim, commemorating the year of the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople and the year of the mosque's reconversion. |
