2004 Turkey please help identify, and value!

5 posts
I got this coin with a handful of change the other day, was kinda crazy that this thick of a coin could pass around. Roughly it is a little bit thinner than 2 US nickels on top of each others.

Please help me identify and value this because I found 0 information anywhere!

  Trial coin.
That is what the ESSAI and PROBE means.
Probably taken from an 8-coin set issued in 2004, like others I have seen (see below).
Cents: 1 2 5
Cents: 10 20 50
Euros: 1 2  (with Euros being called Fethiye)

 So I guess made into a set like these two I have ...
The never-issued Euro coin set 2003 for United Kingdom.


 Danmark 2002 DANSKE PRØVE EURO set.



EDIT: I found now the set it came from ...

Is there a way to find mintage of it?
