| Additional information |
Turkey's bimetallic lira series featuring endangered native fauna was introduced partly in response to international conservation pressure and partly as a soft-power exercise in biodiversity awareness during a period when the country was seeking closer EU alignment. The striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena) has a remnant population in southeastern Anatolia, concentrated around the Syrian border regions — a range that became considerably more fraught after 2011.
