Turkey 100 Lira Banknote 2009–2025 – UNC Pick #226
Product Description
This Turkey 100 Lira banknote (Pick #226) was issued by the Central Bank of Turkey from 2009 to 2025 as part of the modern **Turkish Lira series (TRY)**. Offered here in **uncirculated (UNC) condition**, it remains pristine—crisp, clean, and untouched by everyday use. For authoritative reference, see the Numista catalog entry.
The note pays tribute to Turkey’s rich musical heritage. Specifically, the obverse features the ever-present portrait of **Mustafa Kemal Atatürk**, founder of the Republic. Meanwhile, the reverse honors **Buhurizade Itri** (1640–1712), one of the Ottoman Empire’s greatest composers, often called the “father of Turkish classical music.” The design includes traditional instruments, musical notation, and a **Mevlevi dervish**—symbolizing the spiritual dimension of Ottoman music. Because this note celebrates art, spirituality, and national identity, it stands as a cultural landmark in Turkish numismatics.
