| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Turkey's ongoing wildlife coinage program, which has cycled through native fauna since the early 2000s as a way of refreshing low-denomination bimetallic issues without altering their monetary specifications. The Eurasian stone-curlew — known in Turkish as kocagöz — is a ground-nesting bird present across Anatolia's steppe and semi-arid zones, though declining in range due to agricultural intensification. Its appearance on the lowest circulating denomination is incidental to the rotation schedule rather than any conservation campaign.
