| Reverse description | Facing bust portrait of Turkish composer Ahmet Adnan Saygun occupies the central and lower field, depicted in jacket and tie in a realistic, finely detailed style. The background is richly engraved with superimposed musical staves bearing notation, evoking Saygun's compositional legacy, with stylized birds in flight interspersed among the score lines. The name 'AHMET ADNAN SAYGUN' arcs across the upper field in raised Latin letters, while the birth and death years '1907-1991' appear in the lower exergue. The engraver's signature 'Özyönüm' is inscribed in the lower right field. |
