6 cashier’s checks, 100 lire, Italian Banking Institute - Disney. (No reserve price)

We propose an intriguing lot of historic mini-circular notes of 100 Lire issued in 1977 by the Istituto Bancario Italiano (I.B.I.) and addressed to "Creazioni Walt Disney S.p.A.". These specimens represent an extraordinary testimony to the Italian monetary crisis of the 1970s, when the severe shortage of small-denomination metal coins drove banks and large companies to print real necessity money.
The peculiarity of this Disney series lies in the illustrations of the famous characters from the world of comics: the lot includes notes with different characters (Mickey Mouse, Uncle Scrooge, Pluto, Goofy, Grandma Duck and Donald Duck), depicted both in the small round stamp on the front and in the illustrated graphic on the back.
All the mini-notes bear the official header of the banking institute, the issue date (June and July 1977), the denomination of 100 Lire, and on the back the printed giro of "Creazioni Walt Disney S.p.A." with the signature of the historic editor of Topolino, Gaudenzio Capelli.
The specimens feature different serial numbers and are kept in excellent condition (FDS).
