Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 500 Kurus coin from the Ottoman Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the last Sultan to have real power and influence over the empire. His rule saw the Ottoman Empire's expansion into the Balkans and North Africa, and the coin's minting reflects the empire's economic and political influence during that time.
