Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Kuruş coin from Turkey, made of Silver (.830), Copper (.145), and Nickel (.025), weighing 6g, is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Turkey. The coin was introduced in 1935, just a year after the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, and was minted until 1937. During this time, Turkey was undergoing rapid modernization and secularization under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who was the country's first president. The coin's design, which features a stylized portrait of Atatürk on the obverse and the Turkish Republic's emblem on the reverse, reflects this period of transformation and the country's shift towards a more modern, secular identity.
