| Comments |
The P#179 sits within the Third Emission Group of the Turkish Central Bank's own printing works, which had taken over production from foreign printers by the mid-1950s — a deliberate policy shift to keep note production entirely on domestic soil. The 5 Lira denomination was workhorse currency through this period, heavily circulated and frequently worn to illegibility before replacement.
Known for significant variation in signature combinations across the series, with at least several distinct pairings recorded depending on the term of the sitting bank governor and treasury official at time of printing.
