A mule — struck with mismatched dies not intended for the same coin — this piece pairs dies from two separate issues in the Turkish State Mint's 2005 sports club commemorative series. Whether the pairing was accidental or a deliberate mint error released into the collector market remains undocumented, but the KM designation as A1190 confirms it was recognized and cataloged as a distinct type rather than a simple mint mistake to be melted.
