| Obverse description | Against a deeply mirrored proof field evoking a night sky, the central device depicts a schematic diagram of a solar eclipse, showing the Sun, Moon, and Earth aligned, with converging lines illustrating the umbral shadow cone; a small crescent motif appears below the alignment. Flanking the central device are two wheat ears to the left and an olive branch to the right, both rising from crossed stalks at the base, symbolising prosperity and peace. The Turkish crescent-and-star emblem appears at the top centre. The circular legend TURKIYE CUMHURIYETI runs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 4.000.000 LIRA inscribed in the lower central field, the mint mark 'd' (Darphane) below, and the date 1999 at the bottom. |
