| Comments |
The Banca di Trento e Bolzano was one of a handful of Italian regional banks authorized to issue low-denomination emergency notes — technically fideiussory receipts — during the coin shortage crisis of the 1970s. These circulated as fractional currency substitutes while the Italian state scrambled to address a chronic shortage of small coins, partly caused by the hoarding of copper and the rising metal value of circulating coinage.
The 200 Lire denomination sits at the upper end of what these regional mini-assegni typically covered, making it marginally less common than the 50 and 100 Lire equivalents issued by the same bank.
