| Additional information |
The "Demoiselle Crane" lira belongs to Turkey's ongoing wildlife conservation series, which the Central Bank launched to draw attention to endangered and regionally significant fauna. The demoiselle crane — known in Turkish as *telli turna* — holds an unusual dual status: it appears in Anatolian folk poetry and wedding traditions as a symbol of longing and migration, yet its actual breeding populations in the Central Anatolian steppe have declined sharply due to agricultural encroachment on wetland habitats.
KM# 1297 is one of several bimetallic circulation-quality issues from this period sharing the same physical specification, distinguished only by the reverse subject.
