Turkey Gold Coins
Ever since Istanbul was called Constantinople, Turkey has been the crossing point of Europe and Asia.
The Templars,Venetian Doge and the Muslim Sultans all bartered and haggled with gold coins here.
Constantine himself rode through the city and pilgrims walking to Jerusalem trudged their weary way to the salvation of their souls.
Kemal Attaturk brought out a series of gold coins and as a hero of Turkey these proved very popular.
