Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a stylized depiction of the Ottoman Empire's coat of arms, which includes a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used on many Ottoman coins during this time period and has become a recognizable symbol of the empire's currency.
