Despite the name, the currency was not related to the city of Trieste . Initially, it had treatment in the territory of Italy occupied by the Yugoslav army, and after Italy ratified the Paris Peace Treaty on September 16, 1947 - only in Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste .
The unexpected introduction of this currency and the forced exchange of Italian lire to Trieste at the 1: 1 exchange rate caused panic among the local population and led to unrest suppressed by the Yugoslav troops. Replaced by the Yugoslav dinar in the ratio: 10 lira = 1 dinar [1] [2] [3] [4] .
