| Obverse description | Plain brass field surrounding a central circular perforation, with the circular legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' (Republic of Turkey) arranged around the annular design. The date appears at the bottom of the legend, below the central hole. The coin has no additional figural motif on the obverse, the inscription serving as the sole decorative and informational element. |

| Reverse description | A gracefully curved wheat ear sweeps around the upper right of the central perforation, its stem and leaves arching in a naturalistic manner across the field. The denomination '2 1/2' is prominently displayed to the left of the central hole, with the currency designation 'KURUŞ' inscribed in a straight legend at the bottom of the field. The composition of the wheat motif and denomination are symmetrically balanced around the central annular opening, reflecting the agricultural symbolism common to Turkish Republican coinage of the mid-twentieth century. |
