Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Lira coin was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and unique collector's item. It was struck as a trial strike, meaning it was produced as a test run to evaluate the quality of the dies and the striking process, and only a limited number of coins were minted. As a result, the Pattern 5 Lira coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
