| Comments |
This note belongs to the long-running L1930 emission, a series that remained technically in circulation under the same legal authority for over four decades through successive political upheavals — including the 1960 military coup that overthrew Menderes just months after some of these notes entered distribution. The absence of a "SERİ" prefix designator distinguishes the earliest print runs from later issues in the same Pick number, a distinction that matters to specialists tracking the series by signature combinations and print batches.
The brown reverse variant is the detail worth noting — later runs shifted the color register, making the two visually distinct despite sharing a catalog number.
