| Reverse description | A detailed historical scene fills the field, depicting a large sailing vessel with tall masts and rigging at center, representing the ships that carried Sephardic Jewish exiles from Spain to the Ottoman Empire in 1492. A crowd of robed figures stands in the foreground below the ship, symbolizing the Jewish refugees being welcomed to Ottoman shores. The circumscribed legend reads 500 YEARS OF PEACE AND HARMONY at the top and TURKISH JEWS at the lower left, with the dates 1492-1992 and the Turkish inscription 500 YIL completing the border inscription. |
