About the photos
The reverse is not shown on this page. Only the obverse is pictured.
Small cheques of 50 to 200 lire issued by banks all over Italy in the coin-starved late 1970s, used as de facto private paper money for making change. People took their coffee change in little slips printed with a bank's name. When money runs short, the market makes something money-like of its own.
