Identification note: Exact Pick catalog number and subtype not confirmed; printer and precise dimensions not visible; broader issue years beyond the printed 1943 series are not certain; condition is an opinion from photos only and not a professional grade. | The note is clearly the Allied Military Government AM‑Lira 2 Lire: obverse shows ALLIED MILITARY CURRENCY, ISSUED IN ITALY, denomination 2 LIRE, SERIES 1943, with a red serial (A…A block). The blue reverse with the Four Freedoms inscriptions matches the standard AM‑Lira small‑denomination design. These attributes fit the SCWPM listing for Italy – Allied Military Government, 2 Lire, Series 1943 (Pick M2). Exact subtype (e.g., printer/variety) cannot be verified from the provided images because printer attribution, minor layout/lathework differences, and precise measurements are not visible; therefore a suffix cannot be assigned with certainty.
