Currency that was divided into centesimi (4)

I believe the answer is:

lira

(Other definitions for lira that I've seen before include "Old unit of Italian money" , "Former unit of currency in Italy" , "Monetary unit of Italy" , "Former unit of money in Italy" , "Old Spanish currency" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
