With law n.1920 of 30 April 1874, was established a consortium (hence the name consortium tickets) composed of Banca Nazionale nel Regno d'Italia, Banca Nazionale Toscana, Banca Toscana di Credito, Banca Romana, Banco di Sicilia and Banco di Napoli.
These institutions advanced the budget money (940 million) to the State and in exchange could issue these forced tender notes.
Initially the installation and printing work was commissioned to a printing house in Frankfurt, and then they decided to create a paper and valuables workshop in Rome with the latest printing machines. This change of program lengthened the printing time, in fact the first tickets were printed in 1875, with decree of 1874, and series of nine notes was completed in 1877. The Consortium ceased to exist on 30 June 1881 as provided for by Law n.133 of the previous 7 April, and the remaining debt (340 million) was borne by the State.
Last emission (D.M. 03.05.1881) was foreseen for 20'000 tickets but was reduced to only 10'000 with subsequent law (D.M. 17.07.1881).
