Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 250 Kurus coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abdülhamid II, who was the last Ottoman Sultan to have real political power. He ruled from 1886 to 1908, and during his reign, the Ottoman Empire was facing significant internal and external challenges, including the loss of territories in the Balkans and North Africa, and the rise of nationalist movements within the empire. Despite these challenges, Abdülhamid II was known for his efforts to modernize the empire, and the 250 Kurus coin is a reflection of this modernization, as it was minted using modern techniques and materials, such as gold and a standardized design.
