It reflects the economic conditions of the period prior to the later redenomination of the Turkish Lira and was mainly intended for high-value transactions.
The obverse features a portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of the Republic of Turkey, accompanied by large 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.
