Reserve 100-Dinar banknote

Abstract

The 100-dinar banknote dated 15 July 1934 is a reserve banknote produced as a result of the worsened economic and international relations in Europe, which had motivated the competent state bodies and the National Bank of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia to start amassing war reserves. Out of the total 24,565,000 banknotes, the National Bank had released a smaller part into circulation between 6-15 April 1941, to pay the military units. A larger part of the banknotes was destroyed, while another smaller part was stolen by the occupying forces and used for payments in the occupied country. The banknote was produced at the Institute for Manufacturing Banknotes and Coins, according to the drawing of Vasa Pomorišac, an academic painter, in cooperation with a print-maker, Panta Stojićević, and an engraver, Veljko Kun.
