100 Para

Issued in the first years of the Turkish Republic, this denomination belongs to the coinage reform that Atatürk's government pushed through as part of a broader programme of Westernisation — metrication, alphabet change, legal codes, and currency modernisation all arrived within the same compressed window. The 100 Para was effectively dead on arrival as a practical denomination; rampant inflation had already made it nearly worthless by the time these pieces entered circulation, and the unit itself was abolished shortly after.
