Obverse: Features a dignified, left-facing profile of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of the Republic of Turkey. His image appears on almost every Turkish coin and banknote as a symbol of national unity. Lettering: TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ (Republic of Turkey). Reverse: At the top is the Crescent and Star, the national emblem of Turkey found on its flag. The value and date are framed by a wreath of ears of wheat, representing Turkey's agricultural heritage. Lettering: 1000 LİRA and the date 1990. This Turkey 1990 One Thousand Lira coin is a fascinating relic from a period of intense economic change in Turkey. While "1000" sounds like a high denomination, even by 1990, the Turkish Lira was experiencing rapid inflation. This specific design was only minted for five years (1990–1994) before being replaced by even higher denominations, such as the 5,000 and 10,000 Lira coins. Because inflation continued to climb, the Turkish government eventually "dropped the zeros" in 2005, creating the New Turkish Lira. This 1000 Lira coin was demonetized and now holds value only as a collector's item and historical curiosity. Dimensions: Nickel Brass. 25.6 mm. 8 g. Pickup category timeslot {A}
