Comment
This coin type was produced by a machine outside the money museum at the Istanbul Mint. Visitors paid one million Lira, pressed a button, and a coin was struck with the current date. Many dates exist in unknown and unregistered quantities. In contrast to KM# 1139.2 the months are printed only in Turkish.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1,000,000 Lira coin from Turkey is that it features a unique bimetallic design, with a brass center surrounded by a copper-nickel ring. This distinctive design element sets it apart from other coins and makes it a notable collector's item.
