blecksters New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 9:13 pm I found this Large Bank Note out in the woods by my house. I'm not too sure of the value of this because its not legal currency, but was wondering about time period and historical value.I wasn'table to determine that signatures and theyre are many dates on here so I'm not sure which ones correct. The serial number is U12 009296. If anyone has any information on this type of currency I would appreciate the help. Report this Post to the Staff

Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 10:27 pm It's an Italian 1000 Lire printed sometime between 1943 and 1947. Based on its condition its value would be less than $10. Also, you found this note in the 'woods'? Care to explain? Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 11/10/2012 11:30 pm The colour scheme matches the #72 series and the signatures of Azzolino and Urbini. That would make it #72a and between 11.8.1943 and 1.8.1944 (European style dating DD/MM/YYYY). Also, welcome to the community, blecksters. Report this Post to the Staff
blecksters New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/11/2012 1:01 pm I was collecting wood and the old owners had thrown their belongings out I suppose and I just happen to find them. There was also $260 worth of Confederate money which turned out to be facsimile. And thank you for the information. Report this Post to the Staff

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 11/11/2012 8:30 pm Sorry no info on the individuals but Azzolini was the Governor of the bank between 1930 and 1944. Urbini was the (Chief?) Cashier from 1937 to 1953. So their combined signatures appear on all notes issued by the Banca D'Italia from 1937 to 1944. Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 11/11/2012 9:52 pm But based on current Italian notes demand, these can go for around $40-50 even in this condition. The catch is that most buyers are in Italy so the registered shipping is another $15. Report this Post to the Staff
