Looking for more information on a coin I found in Turkey 2 2

[pebjr]

I picked this up in Turkey in 2007 while on a senior class trip wit my daughter.

I haven't been able to find anything. Hoping someone here knows something about this coin.

Thanks so much

Sorry but it's a tourist copy.  Probably cast. 

It's very difficult to take coins and artifacts from Turkey without the proper paperwork, but since these are fake, the seller won't get in trouble with the authorities.

Thanks for the information.

I figured that, but you never know...

Whew! For a minute there I thought he found it in A turkey. Gobble, gobble.

Not all is lost, if you PM (private message) me with a name and address in the United States, I would be delighted to forward to you a small cache of [presumably] Turkish coins as well as a batch of old currency of every denomination imaginable--most with Ataturk's portrait on it-- absolutely free of charge. I am 70 and have no next of kin. No need to thank me; the pleasure is all mine!
