| Obverse description | The upper portion of the obverse features a right-facing profile bust of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Turkish Republic, rendered in high relief against a plain field. Below the portrait, occupying the lower two-thirds of the coin, is a detailed architectural rendering of the Kabataş Boys' High School building in Istanbul, depicted in a frontal elevation view with its characteristic neoclassical facade, multi-storey windows, and ornamental detailing. The curved legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by small ornamental stars, while the denomination '40 YTL' and the date '2008' appear in the lower field beneath the building. |
