| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely engraved view of the Uzgen mausoleum complex and its distinctive minaret tower in Kyrgyzstan, rendered in detailed architectural relief at the centre of the field. The tall, spirally decorated cylindrical minaret rises to the left of the main mausoleum facade, which displays elaborate interlaced brickwork and arched portal entrances characteristic of medieval Central Asian architecture. The engraver's signature TEKIN appears in the lower right field. The curved legend İPEK YOLU arcs across the upper border, with KIRGIZISTAN inscribed below it at centre, and UZGEN ANITI VE KULESİ curves along the lower border. |
