The imperial government of the Ottoman Empire. / Public domain（Wikimedia Commons）

A one-livre note of the wartime currency (Evrak-ı Nakdiye) that financed the First World War. There were seven issues, and the paper, backed by German collateral, circulated at the front and in the market. This note is a rare version known for its different signature—even with the same face value, a stroke of ink makes it a different piece in the world of collecting.
