Can anyone give me information about this medal? It`s probably a teststrike but I have no idea
for what occasion and if or when it was ever released. It is single sided and 4 cm in diameter.
Thanks for your info.
I know it is Ata depicted and therefore of Turkish (Republic) origin.
But I can`t find any further info on this medal. Not on the internet and not in
my Turkish (Dogan) catalogue.
I`d very much like to know when it was minted, for which commemmorative event, is it a trialstrike and
was it ever released?
I suspected it was Ata by the looks of him and found the statue almost immediately in Google Images. But I didn't find anything else after that, especially because there's no legend. At 4 cm it's some sort of a medal or presentation piece ─ or a trial strike as you suggested.
Perhaps if we knew more about the statue we would find out why it was struck? It is obviously meant to reproduce the statue in Ankara.
