| Reverse description | The central field, framed by a raised rectangular border, depicts a detailed high-relief scene of the famous Mechanical Turk automaton created by Wolfgang von Kempelen in 1769: a turbaned, robed figure seated at a chessboard reaches forward with a mechanical arm to move a chess piece, with exposed clockwork gears visible at its torso, evoking the illusion of a chess-playing machine. Several chess pieces are positioned on the board in mid-game. The date 1769 is inscribed horizontally above the central scene. The legend KEMPELEN FARKAS SAKKAUTOMATÁJA runs vertically along the left and right margins of the field. |
