Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Para coin from Turkey made of Aluminium bronze is that it was produced during a time of war. The coin was minted between 1940 and 1942, during World War II, when Turkey was neutral. Despite this, the country experienced significant economic difficulties and inflation during this period, which led to the introduction of new coinage, including the 10 Para coin. The use of aluminum bronze in the coin's production was likely a cost-saving measure, as it was a less expensive material than other metals. Today, these coins are considered collectibles and can be found in numismatic collections around the world.
