| Comments |
Italian savings banks (casse di risparmio) were permitted to issue small-denomination fiduciary notes during the acute coin shortage of the 1970s, when rising metal prices drove bronze and steel coinage out of circulation almost entirely. These locally issued emergency pieces — technically mini-assegni rather than banknotes proper — circulated as de facto small change across their issuing institution's service area and nowhere else. The Trento and Rovereto savings bank was among dozens of institutions that took up this option.
Printed locally by Stampa Rapida rather than through a security printer, these notes received no formal intaglio treatment. Forgery was largely pointless given the trivial face value and hyper-local acceptance.
