On a recent auction, I acquired some silver coins with face value of 10 million Turkish Lira,
which has the year 2001 on the obverse and 2002 on the reverse, just like in the Numista entry pictures:

Each of the coins I got come in a plastic, printed case with a legend of the SLC winter olympics and the coins themselves also seem legit unc/proof.
On the other hand, the Colnect catalogue, has pictures that show a similar coin with the same year (2002) on both sides and the decription text indicates this year as the only one for this issue and a total mintage of 18.000 pcs.

I did not get any additional results for internet queries regarding this coin.
Could someone help clarify what is the correct year of issue for this coin or whether both coins are legal issue - in which case the Numista catalogue should be updated - or if one of these two coins could be fraudulent?
Thanks.
