Turkey Set of 4 UNC Banknotes | 5000–50000 Lira | P#198–P#204

5,000 Lira | 1990 | P#198

Front: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk provides the familiar E7 portrait identity.

Back: The Afşin-Elbistan Thermal Power Station creates a distinctive industrial theme centered on energy and infrastructure.

Collector Role: Opens the set with the lowest denomination and introduces the group’s most technical and industrial reverse design.

10,000 Lira | 1993 | P#200

Front: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk continues the shared portrait sequence.

Back: Mimar Sinan appears beside the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, combining an important Ottoman architect directly with one of his best-known works.

Collector Role: Adds Ottoman architectural heritage and gives the set one of its strongest visually recognizable reverse designs.

20,000 Lira | 1995 | P#202

Front: Atatürk remains the principal portrait as the denomination range moves upward.

Back: The Central Bank Head Office Building in Ankara gives the note a modern financial and institutional theme.

Collector Role: Introduces central banking and modern Ankara architecture into the group while filling the 20,000 Lira position.

50,000 Lira | 1995 | P#204

Front: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk completes the common obverse identity across all four notes.

Back: The historic Parliament House in Ankara gives the highest denomination a strong civic and government-oriented design.

Collector Role: Closes the set at 50,000 Lira and provides its highest face value.

This set becomes especially attractive when the four reverses are viewed together.

The 5,000 Lira starts with energy and industrial development. Next, the 10,000 Lira moves into Ottoman architecture through Mimar Sinan and Selimiye Mosque. The 20,000 Lira changes direction again with central banking and modern Ankara. Finally, the 50,000 Lira introduces parliamentary and civic architecture.

As a result, collectors receive four rising denominations without four repetitive designs.

Buying the notes individually is useful when only one catalogue position is missing. However, this set is designed for collectors who want to build the entire 5,000–50,000 Lira group at once.

The advantage is not only convenience. All four notes are supplied in UNC condition, so the group maintains a more consistent presentation than a mixed-condition assortment.

In addition, each denomination fills a clearly different catalogue position. Therefore, the set adds four meaningful entries to an E7 collection rather than four near-duplicate notes.

Arrange the fronts together and the recurring Atatürk portrait creates a unified visual sequence. Turn the notes over and the collection changes completely.

The reverse sides move from a thermal power station to Selimiye Mosque, then to the Central Bank headquarters, and finally to the Parliament House.

This contrast is one of the strongest selling points of the set. It gives collectors both series consistency on the fronts and design variety on the backs.

A Strong High-Value Extension for an Existing E7 Collection

Collectors who already own lower E7 denominations can use this four-note group to move quickly into the higher-value section.

Instead of continuing one denomination at a time, the set immediately adds 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, and 50,000 Lira. Consequently, it works well as an upgrade for an existing Turkish album.

Why the Pick Numbers Matter

These denominations exist in related E7 varieties, so the Pick references are useful when organizing a collection.

This set is specifically structured around P#198, P#200, P#202, and P#204. Therefore, collectors know exactly which design positions they are adding rather than purchasing a generic assortment based only on face value.

The denomination progression is:

5,000 → 10,000 → 20,000 → 50,000 Lira

The catalogue progression represented in this set is:

P#198 → P#200 → P#202 → P#204

Although the Pick numbers are not consecutive numerically, they represent the specific later varieties selected for these four denominations.

Together, they create a coherent high-value E7 group with a clear progression in face value and a strong variety of reverse subjects.
