Interesting fact
The 25 Kuruş coin from Turkey made of Nickel brass was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the country. In the early 1940s, Turkey was facing high inflation and economic instability, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Turkish lira, in 1946. The 25 Kuruş coin was one of the denominations introduced during this time, and it was used as a substitute for the 25 para coin, which was previously made of silver. The use of Nickel brass in the production of the coin was likely chosen due to its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it a practical choice for a circulating coin. Despite its relatively low value, the 25 Kuruş coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
