The design is enclosed within a raised rope-twist inner border. Along the upper periphery, the legend 'TÜRK HAVA YOLLARI'NIN KURULUŞ YILDÖNÜMÜ' arcs around the rim, while the founding year '1933' and anniversary year '2013' flank the Turkish Airlines logo device at the base of the field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 80th anniversary of Turkish Airlines, founded in 1933 as Devlet Hava Yolları with a fleet of five aircraft and a handful of routes connecting Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir. The carrier was rebranded and restructured multiple times before becoming the globally competitive airline recognized today, a trajectory that made the 80-year milestone worth commemorating in state-issued silver.
Turkey's commemorative silver program has grown aggressively since the 2000s, with the central bank issuing dozens of themed pieces annually — aviation subjects among the more consistently produced categories.
