| Additional information |
The "Tit" designation on this issue refers to Turkey's commemorative circulation coinage program honoring native bird species, launched as part of a broader naturalist series by the Darphane. The great tit (Parus major) has a wide Palearctic range including Anatolia, making it a genuinely local subject rather than a symbolic import.
KM#1440 is one of several bimetallic issues from this run, all sharing the same physical specification.
