Note: Celebrating 15 YIL (years) of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus independence in 1998 and remembering the founder of Turkish Republic: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 1881-1938. The year 1998 also coincides with 60th death anniversary of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. If we assume that this coin was created in 1998 and compare it with Turkish 60 Million Lira 1999 coin, 45% drop in gold value during 1997-1998 worldwide and keeping in mind the inflation in Turkey, then it should have the face value of approximately 25 Million Lira of that time. http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/Turkish_Republic_of_Northern_Cyprus.htm
