    1915/18ca.: 'Medalillon' Proof set of five values in red as 1 Corone, 2 Corone, 10 Corone, 20 Corone and one without value tablet, printed on watermarked and gummed paper, perf. 14., showing the same medalillon 'Head of Italia with diadem' as on the contemporaneous 25 Lire banknote, but remained unissued. Enzo Diena states in his 1989 certifcate an intended usage for Red Cross Charity purposes in Terre Redente (Venezia Giulia), but to date there is no evidence though. A scarce and discussed set, presumably proposed for fiscal usage.
