The Dette Publique Ottomane — the Ottoman Public Debt Administration — was not a Turkish institution in any straightforward sense. Established by European creditors after the Ottoman default of 1875, it operated as a semi-sovereign financial body that collected designated tax revenues directly on behalf of foreign bondholders. By 1917, with the empire deep in World War I and the imperial treasury effectively bankrupt, this body was still issuing paper money under its own name rather than the state's.
The 100 Livres Turques denomination was among the highest-value notes circulating during the war years, a period of severe inflation that made large denominations both necessary and nearly worthless in short succession.
