| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly artistic and deeply struck allegorical composition engraved by Zeynep Doğan. A female face in three-quarter view occupies the centre of the field, her flowing hair merging organically with stylised water waves along the lower portion of the design. The left side of the composition features leafy branches with delicate foliage, while the right side transitions into a network of parched, cracked earth and gnarled tree roots, powerfully contrasting vitality with aridity. The legend HAYATIN KAYNAĞI SU is inscribed in curved Latin script along the upper left rim, translating as 'Water: The Source of Life'. |
