Turkey-Some Turkish Banknotes-1970's-1990's

Illustrated below are the obverse and reverse of Turkish banknotes. While all of them bear the date of 1970 not all of them are from the 1970's. Turkish banknotes went through many printings throughout the decades 1970-1990 with some minor and major variations in the designs too complicated to define here. One constant of the designs was the portrait of Kemal Ataturk, at different ages in profile three quarter view or full face, and whatever portrait is used for the banknote also appears as the watermark.
