100 Lira Without 'SERİ', Green reverse

Turkey's central bank established its own printing works in Ankara in 1955, ending decades of reliance on foreign printers — this note falls squarely within that early domestic production run. The "Without 'SERİ'" designation distinguishes an earlier plate state or print run from later issues in the same P#176 series where a series prefix was added to the serial numbering format. Such distinctions matter for completeness collectors but rarely affect survivorship, since 100 Lira notes of this period circulated heavily through a Turkish economy managing persistent inflation throughout the 1960s.
