Interesting fact
The 250 Kuruş gold coin from Turkey, minted between 1943 and 1966, has an interesting fact associated with it. Did you know that the coin's design was inspired by the ancient Persian Empire's coinage? The coin features an image of the mythical creature, the Anatolian Lion, which was also featured on ancient Persian coins. This design choice was meant to symbolize the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey.
