| Additional information |
By 1982, Turkey had been under military rule for two years following the September 1980 coup led by General Kenan Evren. Aluminum coinage of this period was an economic necessity — inflation was gutting the lira's purchasing power so aggressively that the metal value of older cupro-nickel coins had become a practical concern. The 1 Lira denomination was already nearly worthless in daily commerce by the time these were struck.
