Turkey 10 Lira 1982 – UNC Pick #193

Turkey 10 Lira 1982 – UNC Pick #193 (Old Lira)

Product Description

This Turkey 10 Lira banknote (Pick #193) was issued by the Central Bank of Turkey on 15 November 1982 as part of the Old Turkish Lira series (1923–2005). It belongs to the **E7 Emission Group** and was officially demonetized on 21 August 1997—meaning it is no longer legal tender. Offered here in **uncirculated (UNC) condition**, it remains a crisp historical artifact from Turkey’s late-20th-century monetary era.

The design captures a tender moment in Turkish national memory. The obverse features the iconic portrait of **Mustafa Kemal Atatürk**, founder of the Republic. The reverse depicts a heartfelt scene: **a group of young students offering flowers to Atatürk**—symbolizing the deep bond between the nation’s leader and its youth. This imagery reflects the educational ideals central to Atatürk’s vision for modern Turkey.
