Hi

I quote

Takılan Atatürk ve Pehlevi altınlarını daha sonra kalın bir zincir bileziğe birbiri ardına dizdirmiştim.

Pehlevi altını must be Persian gold but I have never heard of Atatürk altını and it will be necessary to explain to UK readers.

But, just for the symmetry, if Pehlevi transforms into Persian, why not Atatürk into Turkish (gold) ...

agree Silvia Killian Özler : I agree with the "symmetry". "Turkish gold coin" could be the clearest way to express it.
