Hi guys, long time no see, sorry for being a stranger for some time.
I have been working on a personal site where I intend to compile info on Turkish coins.
So I am sort of back. I will try to make more time for the forum.

I have an update for those interested;  The Turkish Mint released a new 5 Lira bimetallic coin into circulation.
This is the first new circulation denomination since 2009, and the sixth type of 5 TL coins.

2023 was the centenary of the republic and this coin was announced as a commemorative circulation coin.
It is announced that 100.000.000 pieces will be struck.



The obverse bears an effigy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk as Commander-in-Chief uniform.
The portrait is made after this photo from 1922.

The reverse bearing the “Türkiye Century” logo beside the denomination 5, around them is an eight-pointed “Seljuki Star” motiff, and the Turkish Lira symbol “₺” as well as the initials "TC" are used as security elements by the sides of the repeating star motif.

I have this clip for showing the design under different light.

(for those confused by the title; since early 2022, the Turkish government requests that the UN and other international organizations to use Türkiye officially in English (and not Turkey)

*edited to update the link for the original photo

Happy new year everyone.
I'm a bit late to the party.

Happy New Year to all Knights and their families.

Let's hope that 2024 is going to be better than 2023...

Nice‼️👍👍👍
