Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Lira 1937-1939 coin from Turkey is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1937, just a year after the founding of the modern Turkish Republic, and was minted until 1939. During this time, Turkey was undergoing rapid modernization and secularization under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who was the country's first president. The coin's design, which features a stylized portrait of Atatürk on the obverse and the Turkish Republic's emblem on the reverse, reflects this period of transformation and the country's newfound secular identity.
