| Additional information |
Turkey's Red Crescent Society — Kızılay — was founded in 1868 during the Russo-Turkish War, making it one of the oldest national societies in the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. This commemorative was issued as part of a broader Turkish mint program throughout the early 1990s that paired sterling silver with humanitarian and cultural themes, driven largely by collector export revenue rather than domestic circulation demand.
