| Additional information |
This issue belongs to Turkey's first republican coinage program, launched in 1925 as Atatürk's government moved to replace the Ottoman monetary system with a fully secular, nationally branded currency. Production was contracted to the British firm Huguenin, with dies prepared abroad — the Turkish mint infrastructure at the time was not yet capable of handling the full coinage requirement. The series ran only three years before being phased out in favor of revised types.
