Product Description
This Turkey 20 Lira banknote (Pick #224) 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 free from any handling or circulation marks.
The note celebrates Turkey’s architectural heritage through the legacy of **Mimar Kemaleddin** (1870–1927), a leading architect of the early Republican era and a key figure in the “First National Architectural Movement.” The reverse features his portrait alongside the **main building of Gazi University** in Ankara—designed by him—as well as an **Ottoman aqueduct**, a circular geometric motif, and the symbolic **cube, globe, and cylinder** representing the foundations of architecture. Meanwhile, the obverse bears the enduring portrait of **Mustafa Kemal Atatürk**, symbolizing the union of national vision and cultural construction.
