Turkey's chronic inflation of the 1990s produced denominations that would have seemed absurd a generation earlier — 750,000 lira was not a commemorative fiction but a reflection of an economy where annual inflation regularly exceeded 80 percent. This piece was struck for the FAO's World Food Summit in Rome, November 1996, one of dozens of national issues produced for that event under FAO's long-running coin program.
The KM#1048.1 designation implies a variant exists; a .1 suffix typically distinguishes by edge treatment or die alignment, worth confirming against the 1048.2 if provenance matters.
