Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the last Sultan to have absolute power. He ruled from 1909 to 1918, and his reign saw significant political and social changes in the empire, including the Young Turk Revolution, which led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these changes, the coin still maintained the traditional design of the Ottoman Empire's currency, featuring the Sultan's name and title on one side and the denomination and date on the other.
