Identification note: Exact Pick number and named portrait subject are not confirmed from photos; this type had anti-counterfeiting modifications and different signature combinations across 1964–1979. | Visible features match Italy’s 5000 lire Venetian-type (1964–79): portrait of a Renaissance youth in a cap; roundel with the winged Lion of St. Mark; reverse with the equestrian statue (Colleoni) and Venetian Gothic architecture; BANCA D’ITALIA/CINQUEMILA legends; Officina della Banca d’Italia imprint. The decree text including a 1979 date suggests a later subvariety within this long-running type. Exact Pick suffix (a/b/c/d) cannot be confirmed from the provided evidence because specific decree/signature combinations, anti-counterfeiting modification details, and other diagnostics (e.g., exact microlettering changes) are not fully visible. Therefore the base type is given as an estimated P-100, with plausible suffixes listed as alternatives.
