Frequently asked questions
Which periods of Turkish banknotes are represented in this catalog?
The Turkey category includes banknotes dated from 1968 through 1998, covering issues identified with years in the late 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s and the 1990s. Examples include the 1968 5 Liras note with Pick reference P179, several 1970s denominations, and higher-denomination notes dated through 1998. These dates describe the banknotes represented in this shop’s catalog, rather than a complete list of every Turkish issue.
Which denominations and Pick references can collectors find in the Turkey category?
The catalog represents Turkish lira denominations from 5 Liras through 500,000 Liras. Examples include 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 Liras, as well as 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 100,000 and 500,000 Liras. Pick references include P179, P185, P186, P187b, P188, P189c, P191, P194a, P194b, P195, P196, P197, P198, P200, P202, P205a, P206 and P212.
How can I identify a Turkish banknote using the information in this catalog?
Begin by comparing the denomination, year and Pick reference shown in the product title. For example, the 1984 100 Liras entries are separated as P194a and P194b, while the 1991 100,000 Liras note is identified as P205a. The catalog also uses the UNC grade in these product titles. Because some descriptions state that images are for reference and that the number shown may differ, use the printed details on your note as well as the listing information.
Why are Pick references such as P194a and P194b useful when collecting Turkish banknotes?
Pick references provide a concise way to distinguish cataloged banknote types and variants. In the Turkey category, P194a and P194b both identify 1984 100 Liras entries, while P187b, P189c and P205a show other lettered varieties. When organizing a collection, record the denomination, year, Pick reference and stated grade together. This helps separate similar-looking notes and makes it easier to compare the banknote in hand with the relevant catalog entry.
What should I check before buying a Turkish banknote from this category?
Check the complete listing title for the country, denomination, year, Pick reference and stated condition. This is especially important where similar entries share a denomination, such as the 1984 100 Liras notes P194a and P194b, or where the same denomination appears in different years. Review the product images as identification references, but remember that the descriptions indicate the serial or banknote number shown may differ from the note supplied. Confirm any listing-specific details before ordering.
What collecting pattern stands out among the Turkish notes represented here?
A notable pattern is the appearance of increasingly large lira denominations across the catalog’s dated entries. The earlier examples include 5, 10, 20 and 50 Liras, while later cataloged notes include 100,000 Liras in 1991, 100,000 Liras in 1997 and 500,000 Liras in 1998. This makes denomination progression a useful way to arrange or study the Turkey section, alongside each note’s year and Pick reference.
