    I'm sure they're quite real. From what I can understand they are 2 entrance tickets to some archaeological site (illustrated) in Turkey. No idea which one, sorry.

    Google AI did an analysis of the 10 Lira pictorial sheet. This is what it said (translated from Turkish):

    This image is an old image published by the Undersecretariat of Culture of the Prime Ministry of the Republic of Turkey. Cultural Property Ticket or showing the receipt.
    The details on the image are as follows:
    • Architectural Structure: The illustration in the middle is a historical Çifte Minareli Medresebelongs to. Built in 1271 by the Ilkhanid Vizier Şemseddin Cüveyni, this structure is known for its magnificent crown gate and two brick minarets.
    • Institution: At the top, there is the phrase "T.R. Prime Ministry Undersecretariat of Culture". This undersecretariat is one of the predecessors of today's Ministry of Culture and Tourism (it operated under this name in the 1970s).
    • Legal Basis: At the bottom, there is a note "Printed in the Finance B. Stamp Printing House in accordance with Law No. 2996".
    • Value: The phrase "10 Lira" is seen at the bottom.
    Such tickets are official documents used at the time to enter museums and ruins or to collect cultural contributions.
