Turkish Lira Banknote (Banknot)

Turkey · This is a banknote, not a coin. The year of issue will be printed on the banknote, usually as a series date or actual issue date. Based on the design, specifically the portrait of Atatürk and the "ON TÜRK LİRASI" text, this appears to be a 10 Turkish Lira banknote from the E9 Emission Group, which started circulating in 2009. The text "14 OCAK 1970 TARIH VE 1211 SAYILI KANUNA GORE CIKARILMISTIR" on the banknote refers to the legal basis for issuing banknotes in Turkey, not the actual issue date of this specific series.
