| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized, cartoonish figure of Keloğlan — the bald boy hero of Turkish folklore — seated astride a donkey and facing right. The boy, dressed in traditional baggy clothing, holds a bundle aloft in one hand while smiling broadly. Behind him, a rural scene with a wooden barn and stylized flames in the upper field evokes the narrative world of the folk tale. The legend KELOĞLAN is inscribed in the left field in raised Latin lettering. |
