Italy Banca d'Italia 25 Lire 22.1.1919 Pick 42b. Attention should be drawn to the heavy embossing and almost perfect centering on this early Italian note. The second signature combination of Canovai and Sacchi. Though the design was reused about four years later on a Biglietto di Stato issue by the Kingdom of Italy, this is the first instance and very elusive. As the finest graded of this entire design, regardless of signature, in the PMG Census is an About Uncirculated 58, this example may very well be the finest extant. PCGS Superb Gem New 69PPQ.
