1944 Italy 1 Lire Note P# 29B Grades vf++. The AM-lira was the currency issued in Italy by Allied Military Government for Occupied Territories (AMGOT) after the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943. 100 AM-lire were worth 1 US dollar, and there were two issues: 1943 and 1943A. Totally interchangeable with the normal Italian lira for military decision, it contributed to high inflation that hit Italy towards the end of World War II. Due to rampant inflation, Italy ultimately did not reissue the banknotes for 1 and 2 lire, which had since become useless. After 1946, the AM-lira ceased to be the sole currency and were used along with normal notes, until June 3, 1950.
