| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold three-quarter bust portrait of Seydi Ali Reis, the celebrated 16th-century Ottoman admiral, navigator, and polymath, facing slightly to the right. He is depicted wearing a turban and traditional robes, with a sash and sword hilt visible at his waist, conveying his martial and seafaring character. In the left middle field, a ship's steering wheel is rendered in fine detail, and behind the figure, the sail of a lateen-rigged vessel rises diagonally across the field. The legend 'SEYDİ ALİ REİS' arcs along the upper left, with the life dates '1498 - 1562' inscribed to the upper right. |
