Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 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 1918-1919, a time of great turmoil and change for the Ottoman Empire, as it was facing defeat in World War I and was eventually dissolved in the following years. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire.
