TL
It was YTL for some period when 6 zeros (eg. 1.000.000 TL became 1 YTL) are removed, but it is now again TL.

If the text is addressing an international audience. I would not propose as an answer, but as I said, it depends on your text.

International code for Turkish Lira was never YTL. Also, we abandoned the use of YTL. So I am not sure how relevant YTL is here. It was only what we had to use temporarily (and domestically) until we switched back to TL. It is a common sense as $ is used domestically in the US and € is used in the European Union likewise. They switch to the international code when the document needs to address and international audience. Otherwise, the whole time after we started to use YTL and TL afterwards, the TRY remained as the only international code for Turkish Lira.
