Reverse description The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait of Hünkar Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli, the 13th-century Anatolian mystic and Sufi saint, depicted in a three-quarter seated pose. He is shown wearing his characteristic tall white felt dervish hat (sikke) and traditional robes, holding a book in one hand and a pomegranate in the other, both objects bearing symbolic significance in Bektashi tradition. A stylized decorative motif appears in the background field to his right. The inscription HÜNKAR HACI BEKTAŞ-I VELİ curves along the upper right field in Latin script.
