PLN/TRY: what to know
The PLN/TRY rate shows how much TRY you get for 1 PLN. Right now, 1 PLN buys 12.4251 TRY at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 TRY is worth 0.0805 PLN.
In the short term PLN is driven mainly by NBP policy, EU flows and regional sentiment, while TRY responds to high inflation and central-bank policy.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is issued by National Bank of Poland (NBP). “Złoty” literally means “golden”, a name dating back to medieval gold coins. The Turkish Lira (TRY) is issued by Central Bank of Türkiye. In 2005 Türkiye removed six zeros: 1,000,000 old lira became 1 new lira.
Over the past 12 months the PLN/TRY rate has ranged between 10.8474 and 12.6841 — a change of +11.89% versus a year ago.
For anyone in Poland, this is the mid-market reference to compare against your bank or kantor before exchanging. Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
