Hand-drawn counterfeit 100 Kurush note
Great War Period ・ paper ・ 20th century ・ (Counterfeit / Private issue)
A counterfeit 100 kuruş note, hand-drawn and attributed to Mehmet Muzaffer. It is a drawn banknote, not a printed one. It is preserved as a relic, complete with the ink cancellation lines drawn after its discovery. Paper money is a picture of trust—then a master of painting becomes the first enemy. This is the face of the age-old battle of counterfeiting in the era of paper.
