Interesting fact
The 1 Lira coin from Turkey made of Aluminium (Etial 30) weighing 1.1 g was introduced in 1984 and was in circulation until 1989. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features the profile of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of Turkey, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the country's coat of arms and the denomination. This coin was a significant change from the previous coinage system in Turkey, which had been based on the Ottoman Empire's currency, and it marked a shift towards a more modern and secular currency system.
