Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1981 Turkish ½ Lira (Atatürk) coin is that it features a portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of Turkey, on its obverse side. This coin was issued as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or a symbol of national pride. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable and sought-after collectible among numismatists.
