| Obverse description | Central field displays a large Ottoman-style crescent opening upward, with a five-pointed star positioned above at the apex, both rendered in bold relief against a plain field. Within and below the crescent, the word 'Ankara' is inscribed in stylized Ottoman Arabic calligraphy, followed by the date '23 Nisan 1336' (23 April 1920, the founding date of the Grand National Assembly) in Arabic numerals and script. The design is framed by a raised inner border and an outer beaded rim, giving the obverse a concentric, multi-tiered appearance characteristic of early Republican Turkish gold coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a prominent central legend in flowing Ottoman Arabic calligraphy reading 'Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi Hükümeti' (Government of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey), rendered in an elegant multi-line cursive script within a raised circular frame. Flanking the central inscription is a wreath composed of oak branches with acorns on the outer sides and wheat ears toward the center, tied at the base with a ribbon, symbolizing national prosperity. The mint year '1927' is inscribed in Eastern Arabic numerals below the central legend. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, consistent with the milled technique employed at the Istanbul Mint during this period. |
