Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Istanbul's designation as the European Capital of Culture in 2010. The coin's design features an image of the city's iconic Hagia Sophia, which was built in the 6th century and has been a symbol of Istanbul's rich cultural heritage for centuries.
