| Comments |
Macedonia's first independent currency issue came in 1992, shortly after the country's peaceful secession from Yugoslavia. The denar — spelled "denari" in Macedonian — revived a monetary unit last used in medieval times, tracing to the Byzantine and later Serbian coinage that circulated across the region. The 10 Denari note was part of the initial transitional series introduced before the country had fully established its central banking infrastructure.
This series was printed before Macedonia had secured IMF membership, which came in 1993.
