| Obverse description | Central field bears the denomination '7.500.000 LİRA' and date '2002' inscribed in three lines, flanked by a decorative wreath composed of a wheat ear to the left and an olive branch to the right, their stems crossing at the base. The legend 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' arcs across the upper field in two lines. At the apex of the oval flan, the Turkish State emblem — a crescent and star — is depicted in relief, while the mintmark of the Turkish State Mint appears below the date at centre. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed botanical study of Linum anatolicum (Anatolian flax) occupies the central field, depicting multiple flowering stems with five-petalled blossoms in various stages of bloom, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The engraver's signature 'N.EKŞİ' appears incuse at the lower centre of the composition. Along the lower arc of the oval flan, the inscription 'ANADOLU KETENİ Linum anatolicum' curves in two registers, giving both the Turkish vernacular name and the Latin binomial of the species. |
