DavidARay-migration Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I collect a lot of WW2 Era notes, coins, medals, etc. I have some literature on the topic. The main book I go by is World War II Remembered by Schwan and Boling. I have this note and I have done research and I can not find the country of origin. I originally thought it was Italy, but all the Italy notes I find from this same era do not look anything like this one. I have seen pictures of people selling this one on the net saying that is !!!RARE IN ANY GRADE!!!. Yea I don't know about that, but if I knew for a fact what country it originated from I could do more research. Thanks in advance guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettow Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 It is Italian. It is Pick #55 issued between 1931 and 1942. You will not find it in World War II Remembered because it is not specifically a WWII issue. Here is the same note from Ron Wise's World Paper Money page.

CHABSENTIA Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 It is Italian. It is Pick #55 issued between 1931 and 1942. You will not find it in World War II Remembered because it is not specifically a WWII issue. Here is the same note from Ron Wise's World Paper Money page. For some reason my post was deleted. I mentioned before that my wife is from Italy and she said that this was a note of regular issue that was around during World War II and that it disapperaed around the early fifties.

CHABSENTIA Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 No it didn't it is on a similar post in the world and ancient currency forum O.K. I usually only pay attention to the Subject matter. I guess the next question would ask why the same thing was posted on different Forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
