Interesting fact
The 25 Kuruş coin from Turkey, minted between 1935 and 1937, features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of Turkey, while the reverse side features an image of the Hagia Sophia, a famous Byzantine church in Istanbul that was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman Empire conquered the city in 1453. This coin was minted during a time of significant cultural and political change in Turkey, as the country was transitioning from an empire to a modern, secular republic under Atatürk's leadership.
