Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 500 Kurush coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed V, who was the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire to have any real power. He ruled from 1909 until his death in 1918, and his reign saw the empire go through significant changes, including the loss of many of its territories and the adoption of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these challenges, the 500 Kurush coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its gold content and historical significance making it a prized addition to any collection.
