| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic high-relief battle scene depicting Mehmed the Conqueror mounted on horseback, lance raised, leading Ottoman troops toward a fortified city wall, evoking the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Foot soldiers bearing standards are shown advancing to the right in the middle ground, with the battlements of a fortress rendered in detail across the upper field. The scene is executed in a pictorial, medal-like style with strong sculptural relief against a mirror-polished proof background. The circular legend 'OSMANLI İMPARATORLUĞU'NUN KURULUŞUNUN 700. YILI' runs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative dates '1299 - 1999' appear in the lower exergue. |
