Turkey Banknotes Catalog

The history of banknotes in Turkey is a fascinating journey through the economic and cultural evolution of the country. From its earliest issues to today's banknotes, Turkish banknotes reflect the political and social changes the nation has undergone over the years.

Current banknotes in circulation

The current Turkish banknotes belong to the ninth series of the Turkish lira, introduced in 2009. This series includes denominations of 5, 10, 20, 20, 50, 100 and 200 lira, each with a unique design depicting important historical figures of Turkey. For example, the 100 lira bill depicts the Buhurizade poet Mustafa Itri, while the 200 lira note features the architect Mimar Kemaleddin.

Historical banknotes and milestones

Turkey' s old banknotes offer a window into the country's rich history. The first Turkish paper money issue dates back to 1840, during the Ottoman Empire. A significant milestone was the introduction of the first Turkish lira in 1927, following the founding of the Republic of Turkey. Over the years, banknotes have reflected political and economic changes, such as the denomination of the "New Turkish Lira" in 2005, which removed six zeros from the currency to combat inflation.
