New Currency Symbol of Turkish Lira

On 1 March, Turkish Central Bank has presented the new Currency Symbol for the Turkish Lira to the public, replacing the previous spelling "TL".
The character grew out of an open competition, which drew thousands of Turks. The race finally made the draft 33-year-old Tu-lay Tulip: a stylized L, aware of its rounded shape is reminiscent of an anchor. The double horizontal lines represent the T and also make the character instantly recognizable as a Currency Symbol.

Some critics, however, earned the draft because he is like with this design, the Currency Symbol of the neighboring country of Armenia, if you put this on its head.
As with the €-sign there is an official engineered variant (pictured above), but which is certainly adapted to the particular font in different Font Style.
