Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Yeni Kuruş coin from Turkey is that it features a unique design that reflects the country's history and culture. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first President of Turkey, while the reverse side features an image of the Hagia Sophia, a famous Byzantine church in Istanbul that was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman Empire conquered the city. This design combination represents the blending of modern Turkey's secular democracy with its rich cultural heritage.
