| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief depiction of an olive bee-eater (Merops superciliosus) dominates the square field, rendered perched amid large leaves, flowering branches, and foliage in a naturalistic composition. A second bird in flight is visible in the upper right background. The legend YEŞİL ARIKUŞU appears in bold capitals along the upper portion of the field, with the scientific name Merops superciliosus inscribed in italics immediately below. The mirror-polished proof field provides strong contrast to the intricately sculpted relief of the bird and botanical elements. |
