mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 9:21 pm Attached you will find a 1 Lire Regno d'Italia, Biglietto di stato, a corso legale Italian currency (I think?) I would like to know: 1) If this bill has any special rarity or error value, 2) the year and location (mint) this bill was made, 3) approx value. I am having trouble finding a reference guide for foreign and even some domestic numismatic currency values. Please refer me to a URL containing this type of info. thanks Moved to World Banknotes forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

There aren't any varieties for the type listed as P56 in my old 1986 edition Pick catalogue. 2. Somewhere in the fine print on the back is an authorization date: 14 Nov 1939. The note was issued by the Fascist/Royalist regime in Rome up until the Allied Military Currency was introduced as the Allies advanced up the Italian peninsula in 1943; apparently they were still used by Mussolini's puppet government the "Italian Social Republic" in the north of Italy until it was completely overrun in April 1945. 3. It's a typical "bargain box" note, 50 cents to a dollar at most. I'm not aware of a good general banknote site that lists all types of banknotes; https://www.banknotes.com is a dealer website and they only list prices of notes they have in stock; they don't have this one. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

However I'm intrigued by the spelling. A single unit is usually spelt LIRA otherwise it's LIRE. Although there's no illustration in the Krause it's listed as LIRA. Value in the 12th edition (2008) is VG 0.10: VF 0.30: UNC 3.00. Report this Post to the Staff
