Reverse description A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an Eurasian griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) standing in three-quarter view facing right, rendered with careful attention to feather texture across the wings, breast, and back. The bird is perched on rocky ground with scattered bone fragments at its feet, and additional vultures are visible in the upper left background. The Turkish common name KIZIL AKBABA appears to the right of the bird in two lines, followed by the Linnaean binomial Gyps fulvus in italic script below. The engraver's signature N. Verlibusak is incised in the lower left field.
