Atatürk reappeared on a subsequent series of notes in the early 1950s.
Between 1937 and 1939, the Central Bank of Turkey introduced new notes with Turkish texts in the Latin alphabet, bearing the portrait of President İsmet İnönü. İnönü notes caused disputes at the time. Denominations of 2½, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 Turkish lira were issued. 1 Turkish lira notes were reintroduced in 1942, followed by 50 kuruş notes which weren't released in the country due to World War II in 1944. These two lowest denominations were replaced by coins after the War.
The catalog description noted, "TURKEY. 1,000 Lira, L.1930 (1953). P-172. This highly difficult note is one likely missing from many collections. Grade: "Extremely Fine."
