It weighs 39 grams with gold content of 1.0638. This kind of coin is indeed precious especially to its people and of course, to the gold coin collectors. The 500 Piastres have two sizes – the 34 millimeter one and the 44.5 millimeter type.

The 25 Piastres on the other hand is perhaps one of the lightest Turkish Gold Coins ever made. It weighs only 1.8 grams and contains only 0.05 troy ounce of gold. In 1982, the government released a collector’s item gold coin worth 10,000 Lire to commemorate the UNICEF Child of the Year. This commemorative gold coin garnered a perfect luster and weighed around 17 grams but with just a 0.4900 gold content. Nevertheless, this is indeed tagged as a priced collection.
