This specimen was lot 2465 in Sincona sale 59 (Zürich, October 2019), where it sold for 450 CHF (about US$545 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"TÜRKEI, Republik, seit 1923. 25 Kurush 1928. Republikname auf Eichenzweigen, Gründungsdatum. Fast FDC. (republic of Turkey, since 1923, twenty-five kurush of 1928. The name of the republic within oak wreath and date. About uncirculated.)"
