| Obverse description | Central field depicts a seated mother in traditional dress nursing an infant at her breast, rendered in moderate relief in a naturalistic style. The circular legend TÜRKIYE CUMHURIYETI runs along the upper periphery, while the inscription KADININ SÜSÜ KÜLTÜR VE ERDEM OLMALIDIR — a Turkish proverb meaning 'A woman's adornment should be culture and virtue' — is distributed around the lower and left portions of the field. The FAO acronym appears to the right of the central figure. The design was executed by engraver Suat Özyönüm as part of the FAO World Food Day series. |
