| Reverse description | The reverse presents a commemorative scene depicting a large square-rigged sailing vessel with full billowing sails occupying the central field, symbolising the arrival of Sephardic Jewish refugees in Ottoman Turkey following the Alhambra Decree of 1492. A crowd of figures is shown gathered in the lower field beneath the ship's hull, representing the exiled Jewish immigrants. An Ottoman cityscape featuring minarets rises in the background. The circular legend '500 YEARS OF PEACE AND HARMONY' runs along the upper border, while 'TURKISH JEWS', the commemorative dates '1492-1992', and the legend '500 YIL' appear along the lower border, flanked by decorative ornaments. |
