Turkish Gold Bullion CoinsSince 1943 Turkey issued gold bullion coins in addition to the traditional gold coins. The bullion coins that were issued corresponded to the traditional 25, 50, 100, 250 and 500 Kurush of the Ottoman period. The Ottoman Turks first appeared in Turkey in the early 13th century and the Ottoman Empire was established by the 17th century. However, towards the end of the 17th century the Ottoman Empire saw a steady decline due to the defeat of the Turkish navy by the Holy League in 1571 and then the Turkish forces surrounding Vienna in 1683.On 29th October 1923, Turkey became a republic. All of the bullion coins are dated 1923 plus the year of the republic. Design and description
