| Additional information |
Part of Turkey's ongoing wildlife series, this issue features the Eurasian hoopoe — a bird with genuine cultural weight in the region, appearing in the Quran and in Sufi poetry as the messenger of Solomon. The Turkish State Mint has used the bimetallic format extensively for its commemorative circulation issues since the early 2000s, though pieces like this rarely see meaningful time in pockets.
