Informazioni aggiuntive	Turkey's early Republican silver lira issues of this period were produced at the Istanbul Mint, which had only recently been reestablished under the new republic after decades of reliance on European mints — particularly Bern and Vienna — for quality coinage. The late 1930s issues coincide with a period of aggressive state-directed industrialization under the İnönü government following Atatürk's death in November 1938, when monetary confidence was a deliberate political priority. The .830 fineness matches Ottoman-era silver standards, a pragmatic continuity that eased public acceptance of Republican coinage.
