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 Sultan's tughra, which is a calligraphic monogram that represents the Sultan's name and title. The tughra on this coin is particularly intricate and beautifully designed, making it a standout feature of the coin. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable and collectible item for numismatists.
