Several other famous people have recently been subject of a zero euro banknote. In the past months, a banknote was dedicated to MAO TSE TUNG and another one to KARL MARX.

These banknotes are sold on ebay.de website (ebay Germany) between €5 and €15 per unit. A small number banknote of Karl Marx was even sold for €31.5.

This gives an idea of price for new ATATURK zero euro banknote.

The turkish EBM licencee told the actual market price of the banknote was about 60 turkish lira, that is to say about €10.

But price may rise to higher level, considering distribution scheme, the fact it is a limited edition (Mintage of 5 000 banknotes is the smallest one for a zero euro banknote) and interest of a large audience for ATATURK’s commemorative item. Moreover, the EBM licencee declared the banknote was sold out today, at its level.

Some numismatic dealers did anticipate this price evolution, selling already the banknote about €20.

      Dear Ozgen,

      Thank you for your question. At time, We only know that the banknote is sold out at turkish EBM licencee level.

      I found on internet offers of numismatic dealers, but the banknote is already for sale at about €19.
      For exemple:

      https://eurocommemorative.com/en/turkey/2361-zero-euro-banknote-ataturk-2019.html

      Look carefully on the net you might find cheaper offers!

      Good hunt and good luck!
