Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Abdülhamid II, who was the last Ottoman Sultan to have any real power. He ruled from 1876 to 1909 and was known for his efforts to modernize the empire, which had been in decline for many years. Despite his efforts, the empire continued to weaken, and he was eventually deposed in 1909. The coin itself is made of gold and weighs 7.216 grams, making it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
