Turkey Set of 5 UNC Banknotes | 5–100 Lira | P#185–P#189

5 Lira | P#185

Front Design: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk appears on the obverse, establishing the Republican portrait theme shared across the complete five-note group.

Back Design: The reverse depicts Manavgat Waterfall in Antalya. The broad waterfall introduces a natural-landscape subject at the opening denomination of the set.

Collection Role: Lowest denomination and opening P#185 position in this five-note UNC sequence.

10 Lira | P#186

Front Design: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk continues as the principal obverse subject, maintaining visual continuity with the 5 Lira note.

Back Design: The reverse features Maiden’s Tower on the Bosphorus in Istanbul. The Istanbul setting creates a striking transition from the natural scenery of the preceding denomination to an urban waterfront landmark.

Collection Role: Second denomination and first major Istanbul-themed position within the group.

20 Lira | P#187

Front Design: Atatürk again dominates the obverse as part of the consistent E6 portrait language.

Back Design: The reverse presents Anıtkabir, the Mausoleum of Atatürk in Ankara. Consequently, this denomination has the strongest direct thematic connection between its front and reverse.

Collection Role: Central lower-value denomination connecting Atatürk’s portrait with his monumental memorial in Ankara.

50 Lira | P#188

Front Design: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk appears on the obverse, preserving the shared identity of the series.

Back Design: The reverse depicts the Marble Fountain inside Topkapı Palace in Istanbul. This denomination therefore introduces Ottoman palace architecture into the five-note sequence.

Collection Role: Fourth denomination and a strong architectural position before the set moves into its first three-digit value.

100 Lira | P#189

Front Design: Atatürk appears once again on the obverse of the largest denomination included in this UNC set.

Back Design: The reverse features Mount Ararat, or Ağrı Dağı. Its expansive mountain landscape gives the final banknote a noticeably different visual character from the urban and architectural subjects of the preceding denominations.

Collection Role: Highest denomination in this five-note UNC group and the final P#189 catalogue position.

Although Atatürk provides a consistent visual connection across all five obverses, the reverse designs make every denomination different.

The 5 Lira begins with the natural scenery of Manavgat Waterfall. Next, the 10 Lira shifts toward Istanbul and Maiden’s Tower. The 20 Lira moves to Ankara through Anıtkabir, while the 50 Lira returns to Istanbul through the historic architecture of Topkapı Palace. Finally, the 100 Lira closes the group with the dramatic landscape of Mount Ararat.

As a result, collectors receive a coherent denomination sequence without sacrificing visual variety.

Why Build the 5–100 Lira UNC Group?

Collectors do not always need every denomination of an emission group in the same condition. In this product, the focus is specifically on the five E6 denominations available in UNC condition.

Therefore, the set provides a clean and consistent presentation from 5 through 100 Lira without mixing the XF 500 and 1000 Lira notes into the same condition group.

For collectors who place strong importance on uniform grading, this creates a clearer and more logical album section.

One Portrait Theme | Multiple Views of Türkiye

Another strength of this set is the relationship between continuity and variety. Atatürk appears across all five fronts, giving the notes an immediately recognizable shared identity.

However, the reverses travel through several different locations and themes: Antalya, Istanbul, Ankara, Ottoman architectural heritage, and Mount Ararat.

Consequently, viewing the five banknotes together provides a broader perspective than any individual denomination can offer.

This set covers the consecutive catalogue progression:

P#185 → P#186 → P#187 → P#188 → P#189

Its denomination sequence is equally clear:

5 → 10 → 20 → 50 → 100 Lira

Therefore, the group creates a complete lower and mid-value E6 section in UNC condition. Collectors can keep it as a self-contained five-note group or later expand upward with the 500 Lira P#190 and 1000 Lira P#191 in their respective grades.
