| Reverse description | The central device presents a high-relief reproduction of the first Ottoman silver akce, struck under Osman I circa 1299, depicted with its characteristic irregular flan and Arabic calligraphic legends in the Islamic tradition. The coin-within-a-coin motif occupies the majority of the field, rendered with fine surface detail to evoke the original hammered coinage. The surrounding border legend in Latin script commemorates the 700th anniversary of the founding of the Ottoman Empire, with the dual date '1299-1999' inscribed at the base. |
