Turkey 10 Lira Banknote 2009–2025 – UNC Pick #223
Product Description
This Turkey 10 Lira banknote (Pick #223) 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 circulation.
The note honors **Ordinary Professor Dr. Cahit Arf** (1910–1997), Turkey’s most celebrated mathematician, whose work on algebraic number theory and the **“Arf invariant”** is cited worldwide. The reverse features his portrait alongside mathematical symbols: an **abacus**, **binary sequences**, **arithmetic series**, and the famous **Arf invariant formula**. These elements pay tribute to logic, computation, and Turkey’s contribution to global science. Meanwhile, the obverse displays the ever-present portrait of **Mustafa Kemal Atatürk**, reflecting the Republic’s enduring commitment to education and progress.
