| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a high-relief T-shaped monolithic pillar characteristic of the Göbekli Tepe archaeological site, decorated with incised relief carvings of a bovid (ram or aurochs) and a long-necked bird, likely a crane or vulture, reflecting authentic iconography found on the Neolithic pillars of the site. The pillar is flanked on either side by additional stylized stone walls, evoking the circular enclosures of Göbekli Tepe. The legend '2019 GÖBEKLİTEPE YILI' arcs along the upper border, while '2019 THE YEAR OF GÖBEKLİTEPE' arcs along the lower border, both flanked by ornamental dots. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Göbekli Tepe in southeastern Turkey was built around 9600 BCE, predating Stonehenge by roughly seven millennia and upending the long-held assumption that monumental architecture required settled agricultural societies. Its excavation, led by German archaeologist Klaus Schmidt from 1996 until his death in 2014, forced a wholesale reassessment of the Neolithic timeline. UNESCO added the site to its World Heritage List in 2018, directly prompting this commemorative issue the following year.
Turkey's commemorative 2.5 Lira series has been an active vehicle for archaeological and cultural subjects since the 2010s, with the Darphane issuing pieces in bronze at this specification for domestic collector circulation rather than export markets.
