Turkish 10 Lira Banknote (E9 Series)
This is a Turkish 10 Lira banknote from the E9 emission group, featuring the portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, on the obverse side. The note is primarily reddish-pink in color with complex geometric patterns and security microprinting. The text 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYET MERKEZ BANKASI' (Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey) is prominently displayed at the top. The denomination '10 ON TÜRK LİRASI' is centered. Physical characteristics include signatures of the Governor and Vice Governor and a watermark area to the left (though not fully visible in the scan). The note shows significant condition issues, including heavy creasing throughout, rounded and frayed corners, and a slight vertical curl. There is noticeable surface wear and potential soiling on the edges, indicating it has been in active circulation. The note includes a star and crescent motif in the background. The craftsmanship utilizes high-quality intaglio printing typical of modern currency, though the resolution of the image makes fine security features like microlettering difficult to verify. This specific design was first introduced around 2009.
