25 Centesimi Comando del Corpo d'Armata Territoriale di Firenze

One of dozens of emergency fractional notes issued by Italian military territorial commands during the First World War, when the withdrawal of small-denomination coins from circulation created an acute shortage of everyday change. The Territorial Army Corps Command in Florence — a regional administrative military authority rather than a combat formation — was among the commands authorized to issue these notes locally. The Istituto Geografico Militare, Florence's military mapping and printing institution, produced the series, which kept the work entirely within the city.

These military command notes occupy an odd category: neither strictly military scrip nor civilian emergency currency, they circulated among the general population by necessity.
