| Additional information |
Part of Turkey's ongoing wildlife series, this issue belongs to a long-running program by the Darphane that has used low-denomination bronze coinage to document endangered and regionally significant bird species. The Cream-colored Courser is a migratory species that passes through Anatolia, breeding in the arid zones of Central Asia and North Africa — its inclusion reflects a deliberate turn toward fauna rarely given numismatic attention outside specialist natural history circles.
