| Comments |
The Hranilnica Ljubljanske Pokrajine was the savings institution of the Italian-administered Province of Ljubljana, established after the Italian occupation of 1941. These small-denomination notes were issued under German administration following Italy's capitulation in September 1943 — the province had passed to direct German control, yet the institutional name carried over, a bureaucratic artifact of the transition.
Janez Trpin's involvement is notable: he was a Slovenian graphic artist working under genuinely constrained circumstances. The note's small physical footprint reflects the emergency character of the whole series, produced for a territory that changed hands twice in three years.
