1000 lire from the Bank of Italy
Promoted and authenticated by Memorabid Quick bid
Description
This is a 1000 Lire banknote from the Bank of Italy issued in 1947. It is a historical piece highly appreciated by numismatic collectors.
After World War II, Italy went through a period of high inflation and economic instability. The 1000 Lire banknotes of this series were among the first issued in the post-war period, reflecting a time of transition in the Italian monetary system. By 1947, the value of the lira was undergoing severe devaluations and the need for high-denomination banknotes was increasing.
This series was issued before the more famous 1000 Lire "Italy adorned with pearls", which became iconic in the following decade.
Features of the Banknote:
- Issuer: Banca d'Italia
- Nominal value: 1000 Lire
- Date of the ministerial decree: 14 August 1947
- Serial number: 041367
