Interesting fact

The 10 Lira coin from Turkey, minted in 1981, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins. The crescent moon on the coin is depicted facing to the left, which is a departure from the traditional Islamic depiction of the crescent moon facing to the right. This design choice was made to symbolize the country's secularism and separation of religion and state.
