I didn't think I'd need more notes from Turkey as I started with loads of them but here are two I dont have . they are is fairly poor quality but its great that they are in the collection to represent their denominations.

They are the 500,000 and 50, 000 lira notes and  are marked  1970 but have different actual issue dates. Both notes have Ataturk on the front bit their reverse sides have different buildings. The 500,000 lira note is from 1993 and has an aerial view of the Canakkale martyrs monument, whereas the 50,000 lira note from 1989 has the National Parliament building in Ankara on it reverse.
