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.

Everyone has been so generous giving me lots of notes to add to the collection, I really Appreciate every single one . THANK YOU ALL !!

SWITZERLAND






The Swiss Confederation is a federal parliamentary republic in Central Europe. It doesn't have a capital city as such - the Swiss federal constitution doesn't allow for one but Bern is the de facto capital. Switzerland, as a modern state, was formed in 1848 by the adoption of the Swiss federal constitution. this constitution was revised in 1891 enshrining strong values of direct democracy. Switzerland was neutral in both world wars. it is a member of the UN but not of NATO or the EU.

Monetary unit  1 Franc (franken) = 10 Batzen = 100 centimes (rappen)

the first note above is a 20 Franken notefrom 1973, with General Guillaume-henri  who presided over the convention that set up the International Red Cross, on the front and the Silver Thistle on the reverse. the other note is the 10 Franken note from 1969, this one has Gottfried Keller , a swiss poet on the front and a Carnation on the reverse.
