| Additional information |
Part of Turkey's ongoing wildlife conservation series, this bimetallic kuruş belongs to a program launched by the Darphane to highlight species native to or migratory through Anatolian territory. The cream-colored courser — a fast-running desert bird that breeds across North Africa and the Middle East — appears in Turkey primarily as a rare vagrant, which makes its selection for circulation coinage an unusually honest acknowledgment of the country's ecological edge zones rather than a celebration of abundant native fauna.
