Description
In 1944, due to the shortage of Italian lire in circulation in Slovenia during World War II, the German occupation authorities authorized the Hranilnica Ljubljanske Pokrajine (HLP) to issue denarna nakaznica denominated in Italian lira. Although literally money orders, these circulated as banknotes together with regular issue Italian currency and were also backed by the Banca d’Italia.
