Issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey in 1970, this 100 Lira banknote is part of a classic series reflecting Turkey’s economic development and national identity during the late 20th century. As one of the higher denominations of the period, it was widely used in major transactions prior to the later redenomination of the Turkish Lira.
The obverse features a portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey, along with prominent denomination numerals and finely detailed guilloche patterns, with inscriptions in Turkish.
The reverse depicts architectural or cultural motifs associated with Turkey, framed by traditional ornamental designs characteristic of Turkish banknotes of the era.
