Bradbury Wilkinson held the contract for Turkish banknote printing through much of the mid-century, and this note falls within that long productive relationship. The brown reverse distinguishes it from the earlier issues in the same series, which had a different color treatment — a deliberate revision rather than a new denomination or design cycle, making it easy to conflate with its predecessor when catalog references are incomplete.
P#167 is among the less frequently encountered mid-century Turkish issues in circulated grades, largely because the 100 Lira represented serious purchasing power in 1952 Turkey, and notes of that value tended to be handled carefully or held.
