2½ Gulden note. It almost fooled me!

I just got this note in the mail. Upon checking it I noticed the 1LL prefix in the serial code (2nd picture) which I initially misread as ILL because of the completely horizontal serif on the 1. I was expecting both 1s on the code to look the same, so I thought I had somehow found a very rare 3-letter serial code banknote but... no, the the prefix simply uses a different font, and that's not an I with 3 serifs but a regular 1.

So close, yet so far...

20 Franka Ari of the Italian Protectorate of Albania. The oldest banknote I currently own, being 100 years old.
