| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic, deeply recessed proof field depicting the total solar eclipse of 11 August 1999 as observed from Turkey. In the upper field, the Moon is shown fully occulting the Sun, with the solar corona radiating around the lunar disc against a dark sky; birds in flight appear in the middle field. The lower half depicts a group of spectators on a hillside, equipped with telescopes, cameras, and eclipse-viewing equipment, rendered in fine relief. The bilingual circular legend reads TAM GUNES TUTULMASI - TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE along the upper border, with the date 11 AGUSTOS 1999 inscribed along the lower border. |
