| Additional information |
Northern Cyprus has operated under a internationally unrecognized government since Turkey's 1974 military intervention, and its coinage exists in a peculiar legal limbo — issued by an authority that fewer than ten UN member states recognize. The Turkish lira served as the de facto currency for decades, making domestically struck coins largely redundant for actual commerce. This 2010 issue belongs to a collector-oriented series rather than any genuine monetary circulation program.
