These emergency issue notes were released from 1915 to 1918 in seven emission groups and were backed by the Treasury Bills of Germany, Turkey’s World War I ally. After the war, and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, they continued to circulate as currency under the authority of the Turkish Republic until December 1927 when new banknotes were issued.
