ATTENTION :
SIZE IS NOT VALUE !

Since January 2005, Turkey has issued a 1 Lire coin, the new Lire that replaces the old one by the elimination of 6 zeros.

This new coin happens to resemble almost exactly the 2 euro coins : they have the same appearance, with a nickel banda round a copper centre, and almost exactly the same size. Furthermore, one side has a person, just as the 2 euros has the King of Belgium, of Spain, Dante, etc….

The only obvious difference is that a « 1 » replaces the « 2 » , and the « 1 » resembles strangely the euro « 1 ».

This Turkish coin is a legally difficult to challenge : it is worth 0.4 €.
