Turkey's bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics — ultimately awarded to Tokyo — was gathering momentum around this issue's release date, and domestic enthusiasm for the campaign was high enough to warrant commemorative circulation coinage. The bid ultimately failed at the IOC session in Buenos Aires in September 2013, making this coin a minor artifact of an unsuccessful push rather than a prelude to any games held on Turkish soil.
