| Additional information |
Issued the same year Turkey knocked six zeros off its currency in preparation for the new Turkish lira, this gold piece belongs to a commemorative program that ran parallel to one of the most significant redenominations in modern monetary history. The timing was not coincidental — the Treasury used high-denomination commemoratives partly to absorb collector demand during the transition period.
