Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, who was known for his modernization efforts and his attempt to adopt Western-style reforms in the empire. This coin, which was made of silver and weighed 24 grams, was part of a larger effort to standardize the Ottoman currency and make it more compatible with European currency systems. Despite the challenges faced by the empire during this time, the 20 Kurus coin remains a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians today.
