Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Kuruş 1926-1929 gold coin from Turkey is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1926, just a few years after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, and was minted until 1929. During this time, Turkey was undergoing rapid modernization and secularization under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who was the country's first president. The coin's design, which features a stylized depiction of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, reflects the country's transition towards a more secular and modern identity.
