Comment

The Meskuk is the standard version of the turkish gold bullion coinage and is referred to as “store of value” or “money” coin.
The year date is based on the number of years since 1923, when Turkey was established as a Republic.
The year date changes on 29 October, the date in 1923 when Turkey became a Republic, and the coins are struck with this date until 28 October in the following year.

For example, 1923/86 indicates that the coin was issued between 29 October 2009 and 28 October 2010.

Interesting fact
