Turkey's first central bank law passed in June 1930, but the Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası didn't formally open until October 1931 — which makes a note carrying a 1927 date and the TCMB name an immediate anomaly worth scrutinizing. Notes of this series were authorized and backdated or pre-dated as part of the transitional monetary framework bridging the old Ottoman-era instruments and the new republican banking system. De La Rue handled the printing, as they did for the majority of early republican Turkish issues.
The 1000 Lira denomination was the ceiling of the series — rarely handled by ordinary commerce.
