| Opmerkingen |
The İnönü series was Turkey's first major postwar redesign, commissioned from Thomas De La Rue as the republic sought to update a currency that had grown visually and technically stale through the 1940s wartime issues. De La Rue's involvement brought intaglio printing quality that the earlier domestically produced notes simply couldn't match.
Pick 136 is among the higher denominations of the series and consequently saw proportionally less everyday handling — large-denomination Turkish notes of this period tended to move through commercial and government channels rather than retail trade, which accounts for why surviving examples often show less wear than lower values from the same run.
