Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Turkish lira to pound exchange rate, and the Turkish lira buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Turkish lira to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Turkish lira in British pounds. For example, a Turkish lira to pound rate of 0.0455 means one Turkish lira is worth 0.0455 pounds.
In contrast, the Turkish lira buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Turkish lira you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Turkish lira buyback rate of 22 means you'd have to exchange 22 Turkish lira to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Turkish lira buyback rate instead of the Turkish lira to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Turkish lira comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Turkish lira to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Turkish lira buyback rate into the actual Turkish lira to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Turkish lira buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 22 = 0.0455.
