Radiating behind the building are bold geometric rays, incorporating the numeral '75' to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the assembly's founding. The upper legend 'TÜRKIYE BÜYÜK MILLET MECLISI' arcs along the periphery, while the lower field bears the inscription '23 NISAN 1920 - 1995' denoting the anniversary dates. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 75th anniversary of the Grand National Assembly, founded by Mustafa Kemal in April 1920 during the Turkish War of Independence while the Ottoman government in Istanbul remained under Allied occupation. The Ankara-based assembly was effectively a rival sovereignty from its first session — a provisional government that would, within three years, abolish the sultanate entirely.
KM#1033 is a commemorative with limited secondary market depth; most examples remain in original packaging from the Darphane's collector sets of that year.
