Turkey has, since World War Two, a history of inflation. This new lira superseded the old lira at the rate of 1,000,000 to one in 2003. This specimen was plucked from circulation on a recent trip to Turkey. It bears the stern visage of Kemal Ataturk, founder of the Republic. Many examples passed thru the author's hands yet most were already heavily worn, unusual for a coin only a year old. At the time, no other dates beside 2009 were found. It is listed in the SCWC for 2009-2013 and in Numista for 2009-2022.
Recorded mintage: 311,920,400.
Specification: 8.2 g, bimetallic (nickel brass ring and a copper-nickel-zinc center), 26.15 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 1244.
