| Additional information |
Issued as part of Turkey's ongoing wildlife series, this kuruş denomination has existed largely as a collector vehicle since the early 2000s — the 1 kuruş represents so little purchasing power in modern Turkey that it has no practical circulation role. The chukar partridge, native across Anatolia and long embedded in Turkish rural culture, was selected through the Darphane's periodic rotation of fauna subjects on the lower denomination coins.
