The Turkish (Ottoman Empire) Gold 100 Kurush coin, introduced during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II in the late 19th century, is a significant piece of Ottoman numismatic history. Struck in high-quality gold, the coin typically features intricate designs, including Islamic inscriptions and the tughra, the sultan's calligraphic monogram, symbolizing his authority. Weighing approximately 7.2 grams and measuring around 22 millimeters in diameter, the 100 Kurush coin played an important role in the empire's economy. Its production continued into the early 20th century, making it a valuable collector's item today, reflecting the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Ottoman Empire.
