| Obverse description | Against a mirror-like proof field depicting a stylised night sky scattered with small stars, the legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' curves along the upper border of the oval flan, flanked at each lateral extremity by a decorative rosette device. At centre, two lines of inscription read 'SELÇUKLU DÖNEMİ' and 'BURÇ TASVİRLERİ', referencing the Seljuk-period zodiac depictions series. The Turkish crescent-and-star emblem appears in the upper field, while the denomination '25 YTL' and date '2008' are positioned along the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a dynamic, stylised depiction of a lion in full stride, rendered in a flat, archaic Seljuk artistic idiom inspired by medieval Anatolian tilework and manuscript illumination. A radiant sun disc with pointed rays rises behind the lion's back at centre field, while small stars are scattered across the dark background. The legend 'ASLAN' (Turkish for 'Leo' / 'Lion') is inscribed in relief along the upper portion of the oval field in a decorative lettering style consistent with the series theme. |
