Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the last Sultan to have absolute power. He ruled from 1909 until his death in 1918, and his reign saw significant political and social changes in the empire, including the adoption of a constitutional monarchy and the expansion of education and infrastructure. Despite these efforts, the empire continued to decline, and Mehmed V's rule ultimately came to an end with the collapse of the Ottoman Empire following World War I.
