Interesting fact
The 50 Lira coin from Turkey features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. On one side of the coin, there is an image of the famous Hagia Sophia, a Byzantine church that was built in the 6th century and later converted into a mosque. The Hagia Sophia is considered one of the greatest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture and is a symbol of Istanbul's rich cultural heritage. On the other side of the coin, there is an image of the Turkish Republic's founding father, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who played a key role in modernizing Turkey and establishing it as a secular democracy. The coin's design serves as a reminder of Turkey's rich history and its commitment to preserving its cultural heritage while also embracing modernity and progress.
