50 Lire Avezzano - n.91

Campo di Concentramento P.G. 91 at Avezzano was one of the Italian prisoner-of-war camps operating under the Royal Italian Army during the Second World War. The "P.G." designation — Prigionieri di Guerra — distinguishes these Italian-administered camps from the German-run system. Internal camp currency of this kind was issued to prevent POWs from accumulating lire redeemable outside the wire, a practice mandated across the Italian camp network rather than at individual commandants' discretion.

Tirone's signature as issuing officer is the primary attribution anchor for this note — camp scrip of this period rarely survives in quantity, and signed examples with clear camp numbers are the only reliable way to assign provenance within the broader series.
