Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Kuruş coin from Turkey, minted between 1947 and 1948, is that it was made with a unique blend of metals. The coin consists of 60% silver and 40% copper, which is unlike most coins of its time that were typically made of a single metal or a combination of two metals. This distinct blend of metals gives the coin a distinctive look and makes it stand out among other coins from the same era.
