Interesting fact

The Acmonital alloy used in the production of this coin was a unique blend of aluminum, copper, and nickel, which was developed specifically for the Turkish mint. It was designed to have a longer lifespan than traditional coinage metals and to be more resistant to corrosion, making it an innovative and practical choice for everyday use.
