BVONO:
These coins where made to replace the "Biglietti di Stato" a paper
money currency that were in use.
The other 2 Lira coins were in silver 835 and were made until
1917. Also after 1936 the 2 lira coins were minted. The world
BVONO, or BUONO as we say today, means "good for", it was written on
paper money and coins because the rules of Latin Monetary Union states
that coins had to be in silver. Due to the shortage of silver after the
WWI some countries started to mint coins with different silver content
and this was one of the reasons of failure of Latin Monetary Union in
1927.In the same period there were also similar Belgian and Romanian
coins, France had issued the chamber of commerce coins. The paper money
"Buoni di Cassa" or "Biglietti di stato" were low value paper money
printed to limit the circulation of metal coins, were printer from 1893
until 1928. The Authority was only the National Treasury and not a Bank
for this reason we can only say "Biglietti di stato" (National money)
and not only "Banconote" (money of the Bank)
Conservations:
This coin were quite big and made with a soft alloy, for this reason a good quality specimen and especially a UNC coin is very rare.
