Description
This is a World War II veteran, but still very nice and quite crispy, "Two Lire" note of "Allied Military Currency" from occupied Italy.
When the United States first entered World War II in Europe with “Operation Torch”, the invasion of French North Africa with the British, they succeeded in clearing Africa of Germans and Italians. Roosevelt and Churchill then decided on an invasion of Italy, starting with Sicily.
Generals Mark Clark, George Patton and Bernard Montgomery fought their bloody way over the island, on to the mainland and all the way up the peninsula, taking Rome the day before D-Day in 1944.
"World War II Allied Military Currency" by Raymond S. Toy & Carlton F. Schwan. (Fourth Edition) #44.
Face: Series 1943 • A 00306283 A • There were two Series of these notes for Italy, 1943 and 1943A. There were also two printers, the “Bureau of Engraving and Printing” in Washington and the “Forbes Lithograph Company” of Boston. This note is from the former which printed fewer of these notes.
Back: Freedom of Speech • Freedom of Religion • Freedom From Want • Freedom From Fear
The Note: A lightly used example, it has been lightly folded and has a single small corner crease but no edge or body tears and no pinholes. It will be sent in a new currency holder that protects it. As grading is subjective, please see the pictures and judge for yourself.
