This commemorative note marks the centenary of the Turkish Republic but focuses specifically on the democratic period spanning 1950 to 1980 — a deliberately bounded window that captures Turkey's first multi-party elections under Adnan Menderes in 1950 and closes before the military coup of September 12, 1980, which suspended civilian rule. Choosing those terminal dates is itself a political statement about which thirty years the issue chooses to commemorate.
Royal Joh. Enschedé has printed Turkish banknotes across multiple series going back decades, and the Haarlem relationship here is long-standing rather than incidental.
