| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylised Seljuk-era artistic rendering of the Cancer zodiac sign, after a medieval Anatolian manuscript illumination. A central anthropomorphic figure with a rounded face and decorative dotted garments raises its arms, flanked symmetrically by two crayfish or crab-like creatures with elongated claws and tails rendered in the characteristic Seljuk decorative style. A large crab is depicted in the lower field below the central figure, with scattered five-pointed stars in the field above. The legend YENGEÇ (Turkish for Cancer) is inscribed in the upper portion of the oval field. |
