| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic Uyghur hunting scene inspired by medieval Central Asian manuscript art, rendered in a flat, linear relief style characteristic of ancient Uyghur murals. At the centre, a mounted archer in traditional dress draws his bow at full gallop, his horse shown in a flying gallop pose. A rearing lion confronts the horseman from the left, while two fleeing hares are shown at the lower field and two birds in flight appear to the upper right. Decorative spiral rosettes flank the central composition at left and right. The encircling legend reads 'İPEK YOLU UYGUR BÖLGESİ' along the upper rim and 'UYGURLARDA BİR AV SAHNESİ' along the lower rim. |
