1943 2 Lire Allied Military Italy Note - Uneven Cut Error - UNC - 1943 Italy Military Two Lire Banknote - Allied Military WWII - P#M11a

This listing is for one 1943 2 Lire Italian Banknote, as pictured. First issue by the Allied Military during Italy's occupation during WW2, slightly different design than the 1943A series. Rare issue and denomination. This note has a very interesting unevenly cut shape, as pictured, making this note a valuable error note. Note does not include an "F-" printer code printed in the left corner, determining that the note was printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing rather than the Forbes Manufacturing Company. In holographic writing on the reverse of the note is "Freedom of Speech", "Freedom of Religion", "Freedom from Want", "Freedom from Fear". Uncirculated (UNC) grade/condition, no signs of circulation, crisp note! Rarer issued error note and excellent piece of history, making it a great addition to any collection! P#M11a (Pick Number M11a).

In 1943, the invading Allies introduced notes in denominations of L.1, L.2, L.5, L.10, L.50, L.100, L.500 and L.1,000. These were followed in 1944 by a series of Biglietti di Stato for L.1, L.2, L.5 and L.10, which circulated until replaced by coins in the late 1940s. In 1945, the Bank of Italy introduced L.5,000 and L.10,000 notes.
