| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk occupies the central field, rendered in moderate relief with finely detailed hair. The portrait is surrounded by an inner ring of five-pointed stars, beyond which an elaborate arabesque border of scrolling floral and foliate ornaments fills the outer field to the reeded rim. The legend TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ does not appear on the obverse face of this type; the design relies entirely on the portrait and decorative surround as its identifying elements. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays an ornate Ottoman-style tughra or calligraphic monogram in medium relief, positioned above the date. A ring of five-pointed stars encircles the central device, mirroring the arrangement on the obverse. The surrounding field is filled with the same elaborate scrolling arabesque of floral and foliate ornaments that characterises the obverse, all contained within the reeded rim. The date, here illustrated as 1978, appears in Arabic numerals beneath the central device. |
