| Obverse description | The oval obverse features the Turkish crescent and star symbol at the top of the field, flanked by stylized cloud or wind motifs. The legend TURKiYE CUMHURiYETi arcs across the upper portion of the field in two lines. The denomination 7.500.000 LiRA and the date 2002 are inscribed in the central field in bold raised lettering. A wheat ear to the left and an olive branch to the right frame the central inscriptions, converging at the base where the mint mark of the Turkish State Mint appears. |

| Reverse description | The oval reverse depicts a naturalistic botanical study of Campanula betulifolia, a rare bellflower endemic to Turkey, rendered in high relief against a deeply recessed, mirror-like proof field. Multiple drooping bell-shaped blossoms and buds are shown on branching stems with characteristic foliage, filling the composition with fine botanical detail. The engraver's signature appears at lower centre of the field. A curved legend along the lower border reads AKCACИНGIRAK to the left and Campanula betulifolia in italic script to the right, providing both the Turkish vernacular name and the Linnaean binomial of the species. |
