Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed VI, who was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, ruling from 1918 to 1922. This coin was minted in 1918, which was a significant year in the history of the Ottoman Empire, as it marked the end of World War I and the beginning of the empire's decline. The coin's design features the portrait of Mehmed VI on one side and the Ottoman Empire's coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the empire's rich history and cultural heritage.
