The "Banka Provizore e Republikës së Kosovës" never functioned as a real central bank — it was a parallel institution operating within the Democratic League of Kosovo's shadow government structure during the 1990s, when Kosovo remained formally part of Yugoslavia. These notes were produced and circulated within that unofficial economy, not recognized by Belgrade or any international body. The Yugoslav dinar remained the legal tender; these were a political act as much as a monetary one.
TBB#101 is among the scarcest of the series. The watermark is the sole security feature — a thin concession to legitimacy from an issuer with limited means and no access to a state printing works.
