| Reverse description | The reverse features a right-facing draped bust of the Ottoman admiral Turgut Reis occupying the right portion of the field, depicted with a full beard and wearing a large turban. To the left, a maritime scene depicts a fleet of tall-masted sailing warships at sea, rendered in fine relief against a stippled horizon. The legend 'TURGUT REİS' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin lettering. A rectangular cartouche at the lower field bears the inscription '1485-1985 BEŞYÜZÜNCÜ DOĞUM YILI', commemorating the five-hundredth anniversary of his birth. |
