5 Leghe Lombardia

The "Repubblica del Nord" issues of the early 1990s were fantasy pieces produced in support of the Lega Nord separatist movement, which at that time was pushing for the political and fiscal independence of northern Italy from Rome. They circulated as political tokens rather than legal tender — handed out at rallies, sold as propaganda souvenirs — and were never sanctioned by the Italian state.

The "Leghe" denomination is itself invented, referencing the movement's name. X# prefixes in the Standard Catalog denote exactly this category: notgeld, fantasy, and necessity issues outside mainstream government authority.
