Former Italian currency (4)

I believe the answer is:

lira

'former italian currency' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lira that I've seen before include "Turkish currency" , "Old unit of Italian money" , "old European capital" , "Pre-euro currency unit in Italy" , "Monetary unit of Italy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard and The Times.
