Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Kuruş coin from Turkey made of Aluminium bronze is that it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in the country. The coin was minted in 1924-1925, shortly after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, and during a period of economic turmoil and hyperinflation. Despite these challenges, the coin remained in circulation for several years and is still sought after by collectors today.
