Identification note: Exact Pick number/issue year cannot be verified from images; multiple decree/signature combinations exist within this type. | Portrait of Raffaello Sanzio at left, large DIECIMILA/10000, BANCA D’ITALIA, medallion with winged Lion of St. Mark, multicolor gray-brown palette, and printer credit Officina della Banca d’Italia match the 10,000 Lire Raffaello type issued late 1970s–early 1980s. Reverse text shows decree dates 1976 and 1980 consistent with this Pick type. Exact suffix (a/b) depends on specific decree/signature pairings and other minor details that are not fully verified from the provided evidence (signatures and fine decree line not clearly confirmed), so the main type number is given as an estimate with both likely subtypes noted.
