The Okrožni NO Odbor za Idrijsko was one of several district-level Liberation Front committees that issued emergency scrip during the German occupation of the Slovenian littoral — a region administered under the Reich as part of the Operational Zone of the Adriatic Littoral after Italy's capitulation in September 1943. These notes were not backed by any formal reserve; they functioned as instruments of parallel economic administration in territory the Liberation Front was actively contesting.
The 1,500 Lire denomination is an odd figure — deliberately so. Unusual denominations were a practical anti-counterfeiting measure in occupied zones where printing resources were severely limited on both sides.
