The bank title TÜRKİYE CÜMHURİYET MERKEZ BANKASI runs across the top margin, with ELLİ TÜRK LİRASI inscribed below the central medallion, and serial designations positioned at upper left and lower right. Zeroed specimen serial numbers and punch cancellations throughout confirm this as a trial or specimen issue produced by the American Bank Note Company. |
