10 Yeni Kuruş coin
2007 ・ silver ・ 21st century ・ Turkish State Mint
The 10 Kuruş coin of the 'Yeni Kuruş,' the subsidiary unit that returned with the introduction of the New Lira in 2005. A name that once belonged to a large Ottoman silver coin returned to active use as small change, worth one-hundredth of a lira. The health of a currency can be told by the sound of its coins—it is a daily anchor for a country that struck six zeros from its currency.
