10 Lira

By 1979, Turkey's 10 Lira note was functionally obsolete before it left the press. Inflation was running at roughly 70–80% annually through the late 1970s, and the denomination had been effectively swallowed by price levels that made it nearly worthless in everyday transactions. The note continued to circulate largely out of institutional inertia.

The Banknot Matbaası in Ankara had been printing Turkey's own currency since 1955, ending decades of reliance on foreign printers — De La Rue among them. P#192 belongs to the later years of that in-house operation's first mature phase, before the currency reforms of the 1980s reshuffled the entire series.
