Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the 35th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1909 until his death in 1918. This coin was minted in 1909 at the Bursa Mint, which was one of the main mints of the Ottoman Empire at the time. The coin's design features the portrait of Mehmed V on one side and the Ottoman Empire's coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition and its relatively small weight of 2.4055 grams also make it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
