General Info: Banknote from Argentina

 

 

New banknote of 50 argentinian pesos (ARS).  It was announced last year, but started to circulate in march of this year.  No lighthouse in the main design.  But one of the security measures (see thru test) is a stylized lighthouse in front and back.

Stylized lighthouse at front in green and yellow

Same design for the back with colours blue and magenta

General Info: Cancel from Italy

This postmark to be applied in Castiglione della Pescaia (Italy), depicts one of the two Mole Lighthouses of the city.  Both lights (North and South) are identical except for the colour. 

We can´t see the colour in this ítem.  The Mole North lighthouse is red, it is active and the code is E-1470.  The other one is blue and it is inactive (ex E-1468).  So if we have to put a name to this, lets go with the active. North E-1470

Thanks Jaap for the alert.
