Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881–1938), founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey (1923–1938), shown with a group of children presenting him with flowers. This iconic image symbolizes Atatürk's emphasis on education, youth, and the modernization of Turkish society; he is revered as the father of modern Turkey and appears on virtually all Turkish banknotes. The scene represents his commitment to future generations and the new republic's progressive values.
Back: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in formal civilian dress, depicted in right-facing portrait. The date inscription '14 OCAK 1970 TARİH VE 1211 SAYILI KANUNA GÖRE ÇIKARILMIŞTIR' references Law No. 1211 dated January 14, 1970, which authorized the issuance of this currency series. This law governed the issuance of Turkish lira banknotes during the period of the Seventh Emission Group and established the legal framework for high-denomination notes during Turkey's inflationary decades.

Background & history
This 100,000 Turkish lira note belongs to the Seventh Emission Group (1970–1997), issued under Law No. 1211 of January 14, 1970 as printed on the note itself. The note was introduced during a period of chronic inflation in Turkey that necessitated increasingly high denominations throughout the 1970s–1990s. By the 1990s, Turkey experienced hyperinflation that led to six-digit denominations becoming commonplace. The 100,000 lira note was withdrawn from circulation and demonetized on December 31, 2005, when Turkey implemented a currency reform that removed six zeros from the lira, replacing 1,000,000 old lira with 1 new Turkish lira (YTL). The Seventh Emission remained legal tender for decades but became obsolete as the Turkish economy stabilized post-2000. Atatürk has been featured on every Turkish banknote series since the founding of the republic, reflecting his enduring status as the nation's founding father.
