| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a naturalistic scene featuring three Pygmy cormorants (Phalacrocorax pygmeus) rendered in high relief against a mirror-like field. Two adult birds are shown standing on rocky ground, one facing left and one facing right, while a juvenile bird is depicted in the foreground at water level with wings partially spread. Stylized waves appear at the base of the composition. The Turkish common name 'KÜÇÜK KARABATAK' is inscribed along the upper left in bold lettering, with the Linnaean binomial 'Phalacrocorax pygmeus' in italic script below it. The engraver's signature appears in the lower right of the field. |
