Comment

The Ziynet is the decorative version of the turkish gold bullion coinage and is referred to as primarily an “adornment” or “ornamented” coin. Many are retailed with a brass hook, soldered onto the rim, so they can be worn.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 500 Kuruş 1942-2013 gold coin from Turkey is that it has a very low mintage, with only 1,000 coins produced. This makes it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
