| Obverse description | Central device depicts a seated woman nursing an infant while simultaneously reading an open book, rendered in finely detailed relief. The inscription 'F.A.O.' appears to the right of the central figure in the field, referencing the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. A circular legend surrounds the design, reading 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' at the top and 'KADININ SÜSÜ KÜLTÜR VE ERDEM OLMAليDIR' continuing around the periphery, translating as 'The ornament of woman must be culture and virtue.' The engraver's signature is visible below the central figure near the lower field. |
