35 Yeni Lira Anıtkabir Building

Anıtkabir, Atatürk's mausoleum in Ankara, was completed in 1953 after a decade of construction involving architects Emin Onat and Orhan Arda, who won the design competition in 1942. The "Yeni Lira" designation — literally "New Lira" — was introduced in 2005 as part of a redenomination that dropped six zeros from the old Turkish lira, a direct consequence of chronic inflation that had reduced the currency to near-absurdity. By 2008, the "Yeni" prefix was itself being phased back out, making this a coin struck in the final months of that transitional monetary designation.
