| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized depiction of Virgo (Başak) rendered in the flat, decorative aesthetic of Seljuk-period manuscript illustration. A seated female figure in traditional attire occupies the central field, holding sheaves of grain in a pose characteristic of medieval Anatolian zodiac iconography. Small five-pointed stars are scattered throughout the mirror-polished field, evoking a celestial atmosphere. The legend 'BAŞAK' (Turkish for Virgo) is inscribed in period-inspired lettering along the upper arc of the oval flan. |
