Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 15 000 000 Lira (Nemrud) 2003 gold coin from Turkey is that it features an image of the famous statue of King Nemrud, a 1st-century BC king of the Commagene kingdom, which was located in present-day southeastern Turkey. The statue, which is now housed in the Adana Museum, is considered one of the most iconic artifacts of ancient Turkish history, and its depiction on the coin serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region.
