    nice note barry, i've got that one and another 5 lire, military administration notes do not for some strange reason bring big money over here. is that a link to your collection? if so it is superb.

    I have a collection of the British Military notes in Unc. condtion that I bought for next to nothing. It seems that they either have to be top-notch U.S. military or high denomination "world" military to bring the big dollars. But, having said that, it sure is nice not to have to spend an arm and a leg to get an interesting collection.

    Is it likely an ABNC, or a De la Rue note? It has nice details.

    This is the 10 lire note from what is referred to as Series T of the British Military Authority notes. It is called Series T because the 500 and 1000 lire notes have serial numbers with series letter T in them. Six million of these notes were printed by the Bank of England Printing Works. They were introduced into occupied Italian Libya in September 1943 by the British. They were withdrawn from use in December 1951.

    Nice. I didn't realize security strips were used in notes in the 1940s.
