| 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. |
