300 Lire Cassa di Risparmio di Trento e Rovereto - Succursale di Mezzolombardo

Italian local fiduciary notes — fedi di credito — proliferated in the mid-1970s as chronic coin shortages forced savings banks and municipal institutions to issue their own low-denomination paper substitutes. The Cassa di Risparmio di Trento e Rovereto was among the institutions that extended this practice through branch offices, and the Mezzolombardo succursale note represents one of the more geographically specific variants in the series — a small town north of Trento in the Val di Non, issuing its own branch-attributed emergency scrip.

The Bank of Italy tolerated these issues under pressure but moved to suppress them by the late 1970s, which kept print runs short and circulation windows narrow.
