Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the 35th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and ruled from 1909 to 1918. This coin was minted in 1911 at the Kosova mint, which was one of the many mints that produced coins for the Ottoman Empire during its long history. The coin is made of silver with a purity of .830 and weighs 6.013 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item due to its historical significance and the fact that it is no longer in circulation.
