<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1688415, member: 39&quot;]Two from Turkey; both commemorate <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasreddin" rel="nofollow">Nasreddin Hoca</a>. Nasreddin stories are usually both moral and humorous, but sometimes he is a (charming) crook. The older coin is a 750,000 (old) lira coin issued in 1996 (image from <a href="http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coins/countries/turkey/2591019-turkey-750-000-lira-1996-proof-nasreddin-hoca" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.catawiki.com/catalog/coins/countries/turkey/2591019-turkey-750-000-lira-1996-proof-nasreddin-hoca" rel="nofollow">Catawiki</a>); the other one is a 35 lira piece from 2008. Nasreddin is often depicted with a giant turban, like on that newer coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
