Reverse description A finely detailed botanical study of Tulipa orphanidea, the Manisa tulip, fills the oval field, depicting a cluster of multiple stems bearing both open blooms and closed buds with elongated lanceolate leaves rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof background. The composition is naturalistic and botanically precise, conveying the wild character of this endemic Turkish species. Along the lower margin, a curved legend reads 'MANİSA LALESİ' to the left and 'Tulipa orphanidea' to the right, separated by the design. The engraver's signature 'N. Yerlibucak' appears in small characters within the lower field at the right.
