Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Kuruş - Mehmed V (Bursa) 1327 (1909) coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the empire. The coin was issued during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the 35th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1909 until his death in 1918. This period saw the empire facing internal strife, political instability, and external threats, including the loss of territories in the Balkans and North Africa. Despite these challenges, the Ottoman Empire continued to issue coins like the 25 Kuruş, which remained an important part of the empire's currency system until its eventual collapse in the early 20th century.
