| Obverse description | The central field features a highly detailed relief depiction of a door panel detail from the Green Mosque (Yeşil Camii) in Bursa, showcasing the traditional Turkish woodworking technique known as kundekari, rendered as an intricate geometric star-and-polygon interlace pattern. The inscription KAPI DETAYI (BURSA YEŞİL CAMİİ) appears in the upper field, identifying the architectural source of the motif. The peripheral legend reads TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ to the left and REPUBLIC OF TURKEY to the right, separated by a crescent-and-star emblem at the top. The date 2013 and the denomination 50 Türk Lirası are inscribed in the lower field, flanking the mint mark of the Turkish State Mint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold central kundekari composition: a large six-pointed star formed by interlocking geometric wooden segments, each rendered with fine layered relief to simulate the joinery technique. At the heart of the star, an elaborate floral arabesque motif in high relief depicts stylized blossoms and foliage, contrasting with the precise geometric surrounding framework. The peripheral legend GELENEKSEL TÜRK EL SANATLARI arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while KÜNDEKARİ appears in the lower field, together identifying the series as Traditional Turkish Handicrafts — Kundekari. Two raised dot separators punctuate the legend on either side. |
