1 Livre Note (Great War Period, Talat Signature)
1916–17 ・ paper ・ 20th century ・ Government of the Ottoman Empire
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.
