| Beschrijving voorzijde | Within the copper-nickel centre, a detailed military scene depicts Turkish soldiers conducting an amphibious landing, advancing from a landing craft onto a beach beneath a waving Turkish flag; armed troops are shown in various dynamic poses in the foreground and middle ground. The dates '20 TEMMUZ 1974' and '20 TEMMUZ 2024' are incused within the inner disc, flanking the central scene. The surrounding brass ring carries the circular legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' at the top and 'KIBRIS BARIŞ HAREKÂTI'NIN 50. YIL DÖNÜMÜ' along the lower arc, separated by a raised dot stop. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Operation Atilla was the Turkish military codename for the 1974 invasion of Cyprus, launched in two phases following the Greek junta-backed coup against President Makarios III. The first phase began July 20th; the second, in August, extended Turkish control to roughly 37% of the island's territory. Fifty years later, this commemorative marks that anniversary — a politically charged issuance given that the operation remains officially contested by the EU, the UN, and the Republic of Cyprus to this day.
