| Reverse description | Five children in traditional folk costumes are depicted dancing hand-in-hand across the central field, representing the multicultural spirit of the International Year of the Child. Above them rises a detailed panoramic view of a large Ottoman mosque complex, identifiable as the Blue Mosque (Sultan Ahmed Mosque) in Istanbul, rendered with minarets and domes. The legend 'ULUSLARARASI ÇOCUK YILI' arcs along the upper border. In the lower field, flanking the date '1979', appear the emblem of the United Nations on the left and the official logo of the International Year of the Child on the right. |
