Overview

A bimetallic coin featuring the number '1' and 'TÜRK LIRASI' over a background of Rumi motifs. The outer brass ring contains the date and a decorative crescent/star.

Historical significance

This coin represents the redenomination of the Turkish currency. In 2005, the 'New Turkish Lira' was introduced to remove six zeros from the old currency; in 2009, 'New' was dropped, and this series of coins was circulated as the standard Lira.

Estimated value

$0.03 - $0.50 USD (Face value is low due to inflation; numismatic value depends on mint condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals or abrasives as it can damage the bimetallic luster; handle by the edges to prevent skin oils from causing oxidation.
