Za zgodą R.D. n.4219 z 26 grudnia 1877 r. utworzono "MINISTERSTWO SKARBU", od którego zależały państwowe usługi w zakresie obiegu pieniężnego i papierowego.
Emisje zostały wznowione w grudniu 1881 r. i były zarządzane bezpośrednio przez państwo, a ponadto, zgodnie z art. 42 R.D. n. 42 R.D. n.253 z poprzedniego 16 czerwca, nagłówek nowych biletów zmienił się na "JUŻ BILETY KONSORCJUM".

Można zatem stwierdzić, że bilety te były, pod każdym względem, pierwszymi włoskimi biletami państwowymi, nawet jeśli nie nosiły tej nazwy. Wyprodukowano wszystkie nominały konsorcjum, z wyjątkiem 50 centów, które zastąpiono metalowymi monetami, a emisje kontynuowano do 1883 roku. Ministerstwo Skarbu ustanowiło 19 czerwca 1886 roku, że banknoty konsorcjum i już konsorcjum były prawnym środkiem płatniczym do 12 kwietnia 1888 roku. kwietnia 1888 roku.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

With the approval of the R.D. n.4219 of 26 December 1877, the "MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY" was creted, on which the state's monetary and paper circulation services depended.
The issues resumed in December 1881 and were managed directly by the State, furthermore, as provided for by art. 42 of the R.D. n.253 of the previous 16th June, the heading of the new tickets changed to "ALREADY CONSORTIUM TICKETS".

It can therefore be stated that these tickets were, to all intents and purposes, the first Italian State Tickets, even though they did not bear the name. All the consortium denominations were produced, except the 50 cents, replaced with metal coins, and the issues continued until 1883. The Ministry of the Treasury established, on 19 June 1886, that the consortium and already consortium notes were legal tender until the 12th. April 1888.
