Turkey's 1994 Winter Olympics commemorative came amid one of the republic's most turbulent inflationary periods — the lira was losing value so rapidly that this 10,000-lira denomination, unthinkably large by earlier standards, was already pocket change by the time it circulated. The Lillehammer Games gave the mint a pretext for a higher-denomination circulation issue that inflation had made economically necessary regardless.
