Interesting fact
The 1 Kuruş coin from Turkey, which was in circulation from 1947 to 1951, features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of Turkey, while the reverse side features an image of the Hagia Sophia, a famous Byzantine church in Istanbul that was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman Empire conquered the city in 1453. This design was chosen to symbolize the country's transition from a empire to a modern, secular republic.
