| Obverse description | Central field features the denomination '50.000 LIRA' in bold raised numerals, flanked by a sprig of wheat to the left and an olive branch to the right, the two sprigs meeting at the base to form a wreath-like composition. The Turkish crescent and star device appears at the top of the field, above the denomination. The circular legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' runs along the outer periphery. A small mint mark appears below the denomination in the lower central field. The overall design reflects the standard republican coinage style of Turkey. |

| Reverse description | Central device comprises the IOC centenary logo: a stylized numeral '100' overlaid on two furled flags in the upper portion, with the five interlocking Olympic rings rendered in high relief below. The bilingual circular legend reads 'ULUSLARARASI OLİMPİYAT KOMİTESİNİN YÜZÜNCÜ YILI' in Turkish and 'CENTENARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE' in English, running around the full periphery. At the base, two small olive sprigs flank the founding and commemorative dates '1894' and '1994', inscribed on two lines in the lower field. The proof surfaces lend strong contrast between the frosted devices and mirror-polished field. |
