Sources & verification
Partially verifiedFirst day, denomination and basic issue membership are sourced. Independent specimen checks of technical attributes remain open.
Research notes: Contemporary diary assigns low value monochrome and high value sepia; original specimen colour mapping remains unconfirmed and is omitted from identifying titles. The 2 October reprint is not counted separately because removal of the lira face has not been established.
