| Reverse description | A detailed, high-relief depiction of the Ahırkapı Lighthouse dominates the left and centre of the field, its cylindrical stone tower rising prominently with lantern room and gallery rendered in fine architectural detail. The Istanbul cityscape, including domed buildings and a suspension bridge, recedes into the background at lower right, while a vessel is visible on the water and two seagulls soar in the upper right field. The inscription 'AHIRKAPI FENERİ' appears in two lines to the upper right of the lighthouse in raised Latin capitals. |
