No, you'll get more for your Turkish lira if you sell when the Turkish lira buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Turkish lira, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Turkish lira you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 44.6612 means you'd get ₺44.6612 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Turkish lira you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Turkish lira, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Turkish lira you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 44.6612 means you'd need to sell ₺44.6612 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Turkish lira, you need to divide the Turkish lira amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Turkish lira (₺) can be subdivded into 100 kuruş (kr). There are six denominations of Turkish lira banknotes in frequent circulation: ₺5, ₺10, ₺20, ₺50, ₺100 and ₺200; and six coin denominations: 25 kr, 50 kr and ₺1 which are used most frequently, and 1 kr, 5 kr and 10 kr which are used less-often due to their low values.
The current series of Turkish lira banknotes in circulation are part of the 'E9' series which was introduced by the Central Bank of Turkey in 2009, with the later addition of a purple ₺5 banknotes in 2013. Banknotes from the E9 series are printed with the words 'Turkish lira' instead of 'New Turkish lira' which had featured on the previous E8 series after the currency was redenominated in 2005.
Each banknote in the E9 series features distinct designs that showcase various aspects of Turkish culture, history, and natural landmarks. For instance, the ₺5 note depicts the portrait of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk; the founder of modern Turkey, and the Independence Monument. The ₺10 note features an image of the poet Yunus Emre and verses from his poems, while the ₺20 note showcases the architect Mimar Sinan and an illustration of the Selimiye Mosque.
